One Canal Place
One Canal Place, located at 365 Canal Street in the Central
Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 32-story, 440 feet
tall skyscraper. The building contains The Shops at Canal
Place and is attached to the Westin New Orleans Canal Place hotel,
with which it shares a parking garage.
During the colonial era before levees were constructed, the land
now occupied by the Canal Place complex was commonly covered by the
waters of the Mississippi River. In the 1720s, a windmill was
constructed near what is now Canal Street and North Peters Street. By
the 20th century, the land was occupied by the American Sugar Refinery
facilities. The 19th-century warehouses as well as Crossman Street
(parallel to Canal Street) were removed to allow the construction of
One Canal Place.
