RSA Battle House Tower - Mobile, AL

[Southron]

RSA Battle House Tower - Alabama's new tallest building at 745 ft.

Currently under construction, the tower is scheduled for completion in 2006.

The new tower will be connected to the old Battle House Hotel, closed since the 70s, but under renovation. Some of the lower floors of the tower will contain additional rooms for the hotel.

The architecture looks to be quite acceptable.

Reminds me of chrysler tower in NY

I agree - it looks very nice! It will be a great focal point for the Mobile skyline.

Mobile should be proud of such a structure in a city that size. I do hope they add some 500-600 foot buildings to fill in because it reall does look lonely standing there.

what a great looking building. It probably looks great in Mobile, a neat little city. Mobile is cool because of the tunnels.

Beautiful building. It does look like the Chrysler building. What a great addition to your skyline.

RSA Battle House update... This is a partial skyline photo taken August 14th. The tower was up to the 31st floor - taller than the AmSouth tower (slim white tall), even though it looks like it might be shorter at this angle.

Wish we had one of those in Norfolk .

The tower exterior is nearing completion -- there were significant delays due to hurricanes.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. This tower will certainly be a great landmark for Mobile. I'm hoping to stay at the adjoining Battle House Hotel when it reopens this summer.
