Xerox Tower is a skyscraper in Rochester, NY standing at 443 feet (135 m) tall.[3] When it was built in 1967, it was the tallest building made of poured-in-place exposed aggregate concrete. It was initially used as the headquarters of Xerox Corporation.[4]

It is sometimes referred to by employees as the 'Toner Tower' in reference to the building's dark gray color and Xerox's printer business.[citation needed]

The Digital X Xerox logo was removed from the top of the building in 2005 because the company no longer used that logo.[citation needed]

On April 18, 2009, Xerox announced their wish to sell the tower and other buildings in Xerox Square, and lease back the office space.[1]
