211 West Fort Street is a skyscraper in Detroit, Michigan. Standing at 27 stories, it was constructed in 1961 and finished in 1963. It has two mechanical floors, floors 8 and 27 (the top floor). It stands at the southeast corner of Fort Street and Washington Street, near many of the other skyscrapers in Detroit, such as the Book Tower, and Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel.
The building was constructed in the International style of architecture, with aluminum as its most abundant material. The building also has a plaza, a restaurant, and a reflecting pool along Fort Street. The building's address ("211") is displayed on the top floor, which can be seen from across the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario.
