Overview

The Mercer West Tower opened in 2003, after being constructed in less than one year. The building was designed by architectural firm EDI Architecture. Developed by Genesis Real Estate Group, Dallas, Tx.[3] Mercer West Tower has a height of 400 ft (120 m) and contains 55 condominium units. The top five floors of the building has one 4,600-square-foot (430 m2) residence with a private elevator on each level.[4]

Originally planned as twin towers, most of the windows of the Mercer West tower face north.[5] The windows of the planned east tower located adjacent to the west tower would have also faced north.[6]
