The RJR Plaza Building (also known as the Reynolds American Plaza Building) is a 16-story skyscraper in Winston-Salem, North Carolina which was completed in 1982 for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,[1] currently the second-largest tobacco manufacturer in the United States.[2] In 2009, the RJR Plaza building became the headquarters for both Reynolds Tobacco and its parent company Reynolds American after Reynolds decided in 2008 to vacate its longtime headquarters, the Reynolds Building.[3][4]
The building, which has 449,150 square feet (41,726 square meters),[3] was first planned in 1969 and would have been a pair of skyscrapers which would have been the tallest in the Southeastern United States. The FAA put an end to this plan.
Hammill-Walter Associates served as the architect. The architectural style is Modernism, with a curtain wall facade and concrete rigid frame construction.
A two-story galleria links this building and the Reynolds Building next door.[1]
