Burnett Plaza is a building located in Fort Worth, Texas. At 567 feet (173 meters), it is the tallest building in Fort Worth.
Overview
An office building of art and history
Built in 1983, the building’s enduring and iconic aesthetic is epitomized by the 50-foot “Man With a Briefcase” sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky which is located on the north side of the plaza. The often-admired landmark pictured here, is a sleek aluminum slab with the outline of a giant businessman cut out of the center, representing the workforce and the thousands of people who flock to work here every day. The building is a block-sized complex that is punctuated by extensive and beautiful landscaping arranged in a dense pattern crisscrossed by mesmerizing diagonals.
Bringing together form and function
The spacious, modern, and airy interior at Burnett Plaza welcomes thousands of workers and visitors daily. The dramatic design of the atrium treats visitors to beautiful artwork, luscious greenery, and an expansive wall of windows that lets in plenty of natural light. Even the elevator system is both a form of function and beauty. Elevator shafts exposed on the west façade each stop at a different height, which gives the appearance of a modern art sculpture during the day and transforms the office complex into a show-stopping light installation at night.
