The PNM Building is a 12-story office tower located at 414 Silver Avenue SW in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is 56 m (184 ft) tall, making it the eighth tallest building in the city. It was built as the new headquarters of the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM), replacing the utility's previous headquarters on Central Avenue. Ground was broken for the new building on May 31, 1966[1] and it opened for business on February 12, 1968. The project cost $4 million.[3]

In 1980, PNM added a second building called Alvarado Square, which is eight stories high and spans two blocks across Silver Avenue with 212,000 square feet (19,700 m2) of space. PNM eventually vacated Alvarado square in 2012, but continues to use the older headquarters building.[2]
