The State Bank Tower is a high-rise building in the capital city of Mauritius, Port Louis. The 16 storey tower is the third tallest building and only steel frame skeleton high-rise on the island.
It was designed by Campbell Reith Hill. In February 1994, it was damaged by cyclone Hollanda which hit Mauritius with windspeeds of over 200km/h when the building's construction tower crane smashed and tore on the high-rise. The 82m tall tower, hosting mostly offices, was finally inaugurated in 1995.
