Founders Tower (formerly known as the United Founders Life Tower and The 360 at Founders Plaza) is a Googie-style residential skyscraper located northwest of downtown Oklahoma City in Oklahoma, United States. The tower is one of the most well-known landmarks in the city skyline.[2] It has a height of 275 feet (84 m) and 20 stories, with a restaurant called 360 on its top floor, featuring 360-degree panoramic views of Oklahoma City.
Founders Tower was the second building in the nation to have a revolving restaurant—the first being at the Space Needle,[3] though the restaurant no longer revolves. The building was originally finished in 1964 as an office building but was redeveloped into upscale residences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
