Xerox Tower is a skyscraper in downtown Rochester, New York standing at 443 feet (135 m) tall.[3] The tower is the centerpiece of a roughly 2.7 acres (1.1 ha) complex named Xerox Square.[4] When it was built in 1967, it was the tallest building made of poured-in-place exposed aggregate concrete. It is the tallest building in Rochester, as well as the third tallest building in New York outside of New York City. It was initially used as the headquarters of Xerox Corporation.[5]
The "Digital X" Xerox logo was removed from the top of the building in 2005 because the company no longer used that logo.[citation needed]
On April 18, 2009, Xerox announced their wish to sell the tower and other buildings in Xerox Square, and lease back the office space.[1] In August, 2013 the property was sold to Buckingham Properties for $40 million. Under the terms of the sale Xerox will continue to lease in space the building for eight years, with an option to renew. Between the Summer and Autumn of 2015, a multi-color light display was added to all four corners of the tower roof.[4]
