The RSA Battle House Tower stands at 11 North Water Street in Mobile, Alabama. The Retirement Systems of Alabama owns it. It is named for the neighboring Battle House Hotel, which was restored and renovated as part of the tower complex. The spire reaches 745 feet. It is the tallest building in Alabama and in Mobile, and the tallest on the U.S. Gulf Coast outside Houston.
TVS Associates was the architect. The tower has 35 floors and 30 elevators. Construction ran from 2003 to 2006, and it opened in May 2007. The total cost was $220 million.
A Sikorsky S-61 helicopter installed the spire in 2006. Five hurricanes delayed construction between 2004 and 2005. The lighted crown can be seen from about 30 miles away across Mobile Bay.
