The EMC Insurance Building is a high-rise office building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The building rises 19 floors and 325 feet (99 m) in height.[1] It is currently tied with the HUB Tower as the 6th-tallest building in the city.[1] Designed by Brooks Borg Skiles Architecture Engineering, the building was completed in 1997 for $54 million.[2] The building was named one of the 50 Most Significant Iowa Buildings of the 20th Century by the American Institute of Architects Iowa chapter.[1]
There have been comparisons made between the curves on the back of the building and an Absolut Vodka bottle.
