The Amhoist Tower is an office tower on the west side of downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, overlooking Rice Park. The tower was built in 1983-1984 and is adjacent to the St. Paul Hotel. The building was originally built for residential condominiums on the nineteenth through twenty-third floors, with office space on the levels below that. The office tower, now known as Landmark Towers, has the address of 345 Saint Peter Street. The condominiums are now known as Park Towers and have the address of 59 Fourth Street West. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022 for its association with the American Hoist and Derrick Company.[2]

In 2022, developer Sherman Associates proposed converting almost all of the building to residential use, at an estimated cost of $80 to $85 million. The developer cited an office occupancy of less than 10 percent in the first to nineteenth floors, as well as a greater demand for housing in downtown areas with proximity to restaurants, theater, art, and sports venues. The conversion would depend heavily on financing, with historic tax credits driven by the National Register nomination.[3]
