The **HUB Tower** is a [high-rise](/source/High-rise) office building located in downtown [Des Moines, Iowa](/source/Des_Moines,_Iowa), [United States](/source/United_States). The building rises 25 [floors](/source/Storey) and 325 feet (99 m) in height.[1] It is tied with the [EMC Insurance Building](/source/EMC_Insurance_Building) for the title of the 6th-tallest building in the city.[1] Designed by Herbert Lewis Kruse Blunck Architecture in the [Postmodern](/source/Postmodern_architecture) style, the building was completed in 1986. The building consists of an 18-story office tower that sits on a seven-story base, which houses a retail mall. The [façade](/source/Fa%C3%A7ade) is composed of glass, metal and brick.[1] The crown features a [gabled](/source/Gable) front [hipped roof](/source/Hip_roof) tower.[2]

The building was damaged on March 29, 2014, when the nearby Younkers Building burned down while in the midst of renovation. The building subsequently underwent repairs and a new building is currently being built on the former site of the Younkers Building.
