One Corporate Center (also referred to as the "Stilts Building" and also by its street address "20 Church Street") is a 305 ft (93 m) tall modernist skyscraper in Hartford, Connectciut. [1] It was built in 1981 and it has 23 floors. [2] As of November 2025 it is the 11th tallest building in Hartford and the 18th tallest building in Connecticut. At the time of its completion it was the 5th tallest building in Hartford [3] and the 6th tallest building in Connecticut. [4] Notable tenants include Ernst & Young, Northwestern Mutual, and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. [5] [6] The building's nickname comes from the angled supports at the base of the building. [7]

In 2014 Shelbourne Global Solutions bought the building for $44.42 million dollars with a $30.75 million dollar mortgage from Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, which sold it to Wells Fargo not long after. In 2022 the building went into foreclosure after Wells Fargo filed a lawsuit which claimed that Shelbourne had not paid them since February 6th of that year. [8]
