The tallest building in Las Cruces has been purchased for just under $9 million.
Located at 506 Main Street, what is officially known as the Las Cruces Tower is a 10-story modernistic structure completed in 1966 that has long served as an office building for several companies and businesses.
The company Electronic Caregiver, which has used the upper floors of the building for its headquarters since 2017, purchased the structure from the loan company Coronado Finance.
Electronic Caregiver specializes in advance remote patient monitoring and tele-health, among other services.
The Main Street building encompasses nearly 90,000 square feet and is classified as a Class B building. According to the Las Cruces Sun News, plans are underway to renovate the building’s spacious first floor lobby and upgrades its bathrooms.
It is also expected that a health center will be built in the building’s basement.
The structure was originally opened as the First National Bank Tower and has retained its status as the city’s tallest building ever since. The next tallest structure is the 7-story Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces at 705 S. Telshor Boulevard, which went up in 1986.
