'''Santander Tower''', formerly known as '''Thanksgiving Tower''', is a 50-story, {{convert|197|m|abbr=on}} skyscraper at 1601 Elm Street adjacent to [[Thanks-Giving Square]] in [[downtown Dallas]], [[Texas]]. At its completion in 1982, it was the second tallest building in [[Dallas]], surpassing [[The Drever|Elm Place]]. One year later, with the completion of [[1700 Pacific]], it became the third tallest, and it is currently the [[List of tallest buildings in Dallas|8th-tallest building]] in the city. The building is connected to the [[Dallas Pedestrian Network]] and the [[Thanks-Giving Square#Bullington Truck Terminal|Bullington Truck Terminal]]. Santander Tower is owned and managed by Woods Capital, and it was designed by the architecture firm [[HKS Architects]]. Formerly known as the Thanks-Giving Tower, it was renamed in 2020 after [[Banco Santander]].<ref>[https://santanderconsumerusa.com/blog/renaming-tower-a-sign-of-companys-commitment-to-dallas Thanksgiving Tower Name Change]</ref>
In mid-2022 it was announced that 12 of the 50 floors will be converted into 228 residential units with building ownership citing post-pandemic housing demand and a weakened office market as the catalysts for the [[adaptive reuse]] project.<ref>{{cite news|last=Brown|first=Steve|date=2022-07-25|title=Santander Tower moves ahead on adding 228 apartments|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2022/07/25/downtown-dallas-tower-redo-moves-ahead-with-contractor-and-apartment-builder/|work=Dallas Morning News|access-date=2022-07-25}}</ref>
== Repositioning ==
In 2013, Woods Capital acquired the tower out of foreclosure. Woods began a repositioning campaign estimated at $45m to revitalize the building and surrounding areas. During this program the lobbies, plaza, mechanical systems, common areas, and other portions of the tower were all upgraded.<ref>{{cite web |title=Woods Capital Acquires Thanksgiving Tower |url=https://www.woodscapital.com/single-post/2013/07/09/woods-capital-acquires-thanksgiving-tower |website=Woods Capital |access-date=April 14, 2023}}</ref> Occupancy in the building increased because of the repositioning.
