One Commerce Plaza is a 20-story office building located at 99 Washington Avenue in Albany, New York. Completed in 1971, the structure stands at a height of approximately 251 feet (77 meters), making it one of the taller buildings in the Albany skyline. It is situated in the city's downtown district, in close proximity to the New York State Capitol and the Empire State Plaza.
The building serves primarily as commercial office space and is a significant hub for New York State government operations. It houses various state agencies, including the New York State Department of State and the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions. In addition to public sector tenants, the building provides office space for private legal, lobbying, and professional services firms.
Architecturally, the building is characterized by its late-modernist design, featuring a rectangular form with a facade dominated by glass and masonry. One Commerce Plaza is managed as a private commercial property, though its high concentration of state-related tenants integrates it closely with the administrative functions of the New York State capital. It provides underground parking facilities and is accessible via the city’s major thoroughfares and public transit lines.
