Riverplace Tower

The Riverplace Tower is a 28-floor office building on the south bank of the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida.

For tax reasons, American General was desperate to sell during 1993 and accepted a cash offer of $9.0 million from Gate Petroleum.

The facility was a hub for networking and entertaining clients, as well as providing conference rooms and offices for conducting business in private.

[12][13] Gate Petroleum sold the building on October 31, 2014 to CFLC Replace LLC in Glen Allen, Virginia for $29.0 million.

The building gets structural support from the central core and the external vertical beams, which leaves a more open internal space.

Each of the exposed beams consist of fourteen precast units held together with high strength post-tensioned steel cables.

[19] Savour is a public restaurant located on the second floor of the tower, and it offers an excellent view of the river and northbank through its glass, north-facing wall.

Their choices were: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Headquarters in Washington, D.C.; Gulf Life Tower in Jacksonville; Disney World Monorail in Orlando, TransAmerica Pyramid in San Francisco; Aurora Justice Facility and Municipal Center in Aurora, Colorado; Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa Bay, Florida; and the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Parking Structure in North Haven, Connecticut.

[20] According to an Architecture article in Time Magazine, "(the) Gulf Life, placed in a shoddy, chaotic part of Jacksonville, is a tonic for its area, acts as an organizing beacon.
