Was completed 2008ish, as one of the 7 large office buildings, 7 huge parking decks, child care center, an activity center, two public parks, two hotels, convention facilities, fully equipped theater, and considerable street work, all of which the RSA has funded in downtown Montgomery over the past 45 years. These investments must be given much credit for the rebirth of our city center. I had watched its awful decline over the first 35 years that I resided here. The RSA considered this building to be sufficiently removed from the Capitol dome that it could surrender its mandate to bow to and emulate the six white concrete-faced structures that surround the Capitol. The former (1976) RSA headquarters can be seen on the left, and is now leased to the State Department of Post-Secondary Education.
