Nicholas Tower, situated on Independence Square, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago is the tallest building in the English-speaking Caribbean. It has an elliptical floor plate and stands 21[1] floors tall. Construction was completed in 2003 and each floor, 8,000 square feet of space, was rented out at a cost of $96,000 a month[2] (as of 2005).

The building was constructed on the site of the Trinidad Union Club, a 136-year-old private club.[3], which now occupies the penthouse suite of the Nicholas Tower.[3] The Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange, a former tenant of the Union Club building,[3] also occupies this building.[3][4]

While the Nicholas Tower is currently the tallest building in Port of Spain, the proposed Waterfront International Project is slated to include a 26-storey office tower.[1]
