Benson Tower (formerly Dominion Tower and the CNG Tower), located at 1450 Poydras Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 26-story, 406 feet (124 m)-tall skyscraper. The building was purchased by New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson on September 15, 2009 and renamed the Benson Tower[1]. Ochsner Health System will move executives and as many as 750 administrative employees to the top four floors of the freshly renovated Benson Tower[2] in 2012. Mike Siegel, president of Corporate Realty, which was hired to lease the 487,760-square foot building, said that with the Ochsner lease being signed, Benson Tower is more than 90% leased.
