**Santander Tower**, formerly known as **Thanksgiving Tower**, is a 50-story, 197 m (646 ft) skyscraper at 1601 Elm Street adjacent to [Thanks-Giving Square](/source/Thanks-Giving_Square) in [downtown Dallas](/source/Downtown_Dallas), [Texas](/source/Texas). At its completion in 1982, it was the second tallest building in [Dallas](/source/Dallas), surpassing [Elm Place](/source/The_Drever). One year later, with the completion of [1700 Pacific](/source/1700_Pacific), it became the third tallest, and it is currently the [8th-tallest building](/source/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Dallas) in the city. The building is connected to the [Dallas Pedestrian Network](/source/Dallas_Pedestrian_Network) and the [Bullington Truck Terminal](/source/Thanks-Giving_Square#Bullington_Truck_Terminal). Santander Tower is owned and managed by Woods Capital, and it was designed by the architecture firm [HKS Architects](/source/HKS_Architects). Formerly known as the Thanks-Giving Tower, it was renamed in 2020 after [Banco Santander](/source/Banco_Santander).[5]

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](/source/Adaptive_reuse) project.[6]

## 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.[7] Occupancy in the building increased because of the repositioning.
