Eric Williams Plaza, also known as the Eric Williams Financial Complex, located on Independence Square, Port-of-Spain, is the second tallest building in Trinidad and Tobago . It consists of a pair of skyscrapers 22 stories high and 302 ft (92 m) tall, locally known as the Twin Towers. Construction on the complex started in 1979 and ended in 1986. The building is on the Brian Lara Promenade, which forms a portion of Independence Square (formerly Marine Square) in downtown Port of Spain. It was the tallest building in Trinidad and Tobago until the Nicholas Towers were constructed by businessman Issa Nicholas.
From 1993 to January of 1999, the office of the Prime Minister was housed here; in 1999 it was returned to Whitehall.
