One Commerce Plaza, also known as the Twin Towers, is a public office building located on Washington Avenue in downtown Albany, New York. At 20 floors and 270 feet (82 meters), it is the eleventh tallest structure in Albany. One Commerce Plaza was completed in 1971 and has a black glass and white marble exterior. Although it is a private office tower, much of the building is occupied by New York State government offices. Its lobby features several eateries. For the past few years, the building was draped in white plastic sheathing. This preceded its current exterior renovation, in which the marble panels of the original facade are being replaced with metal composite ones, because the marble was too thick for exterior use.
