Metro Tower Lofts, located in Lubbock, Texas, was originally completed in 1955 as the Great Plains Life Building, designed by architect David S. Castle. Once the tallest building in the city, it stood as a modernist landmark reflecting Lubbock’s mid-century growth. Now repurposed, it serves as a residential development with housing units and commercial amenities on the first floor. Metro Tower Lofts contributes to the ongoing revitalization of downtown Lubbock and reflects the city’s commitment to preserving its architectural heritage while supporting urban renewal.
