The Four Winds is a combination commercial and luxury apartment building in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, developed by Kailas Companies. The building is 252-foot (77 m) high,[2] and has nineteen floors.
It was designed by Emile Weil, completed in 1927 and housed the Canal Bank and Trust.[3][4] It was then occupied by the First National Bank of Commerce for almost 90 years, until the bank collapsed in 2017.[5]
In 2015, after significant renovations, the building was reopened with its original facade to match Emile Weil's original stylings.[6][failed verification] The Four Winds currently stands as the 34th-tallest building in the city.
