History

The building's main exterior materials include glass, granite, and concrete in a postmodern architectural design. The high-rise building is primarily used as an office tower, with a parking garage, restaurant and retail offices inside it. The 150 West Jefferson high rise replaced the Detroit Stock Exchange Building. Some of the façade of the old building was preserved and incorporated into the interior and exterior decoration of the new building. The skyscraper rises 444' 6" from its front entrance off West Jefferson Avenue. The back entrance off the podium on Larned Street actually sits 7' lower.Four flagpoles, each 30 feet high, are located at each corner of the top of the slanted roof. Each displays an American flag; the four can be seen across the river in Windsor, Ontario.
The Financial District station of the Detroit People Mover system is adjacent to the building, accessible via an entrance in the lobby.
