Carillon Tower

The Carillon Tower is a high-rise in Charlotte, North Carolina, completed in 1991. Its 300-foot, bell-shaped copper crown gives it a striking silhouette. The design deliberately takes its cue from the historic First Presbyterian Church across the street. In the lobby, you can visit an art gallery with changing exhibitions, including Jean Tinguely's kinetic sculpture Cascade, which hangs above an indoor fountain. Outside the entrance on West Trade Street, a landscaped public plaza invites you to linger, anchored by Jerry Peart's colorful aluminum sculpture The Garden. The building also houses high-quality office space and stands on the former site of the Hotel Charlotte.
