One American Center is a high-rise office building located at the northwest corner of West 6th Street and Congress Avenue in the Financial District of Downtown Austin, the state capital of Texas. Standing 400 feet (122 meters) tall and containing 32 floors, it is currently the 11th tallest building in Austin. The construction of One American Center was completed in 1984 and was developed by Rust Properties. It was the tallest building in Austin until the finishing of the Frost Bank Tower in 2003.[2] However, with the current building boom in Austin, there are many structures planned and completed which are and will be taller than the One American Center, starting with the 360 Condominiums, The Ashton, The Austonian, The W Austin Hotel and Residences, and the Spring Condominiums.
Annually, Make-A-Wish Central and South Texas has a fundraising event called "Over The Edge," in which the first 300 persons to raise $1,500 in donations get to rappel 32 stories down the One American Center.
As of 2010 Haynes and Boone has an office in One American Center.[3]
