The 54-story Market Street Place is a mixed use building containing offices, a hotel and condominiums. It is 755 feet (230 m) tall and was constructed in 1974. It was the third tallest building in Rocane at that time.



The ABA Building was completed as Midwest headquarters for Allied Bank America Corporation in 1975. It has 38 stories and is 568 feet (173 m) tall.



The records of the National Archive of France claimed that a there was a French outpost on the Rocane River in the 18th century. No physical evidence of this was found until work on the last undeveloped lot of the Riverfront Renewal Project began in 1974. Soon the remains of a French fort were discovered and the work was halted. Historians argued that the remains should be preserved. The developer wanted the building to be built. A compromise was made, when the base of the building was rented to the Rocane City Museum, and the remains of the fort were preserved as a permanent part of the exhibition. The building was named Sentry Point Center.

Sentry Point Center was completed in 1977 and it was the first building in Rocane to break away from the boxy shapes of the International Style. It is 538 feet (164 m) tall and has 37 stories.
