Informations

Bank of America Plaza is a skyscraper located between Midtown Atlanta and Downtown Atlanta.

In 311.8 m (1,023 ft), the tower is the 125th-tallest construction in the world. It's the 21st tallest building in the U.S., the tallest building in Georgia, and the tallest building in any U.S. state capital, overtaking the 250 m (820 ft), 50-story One Atlantic Center in height, which formerly held the record as Georgia's tallest building.



It's 55 tales of office space and was completed in 1992, when it was called NationsBank Plaza. Originally intended to be the headquarters for Citizens & Southern National Bank (which merged with Sovran Bank during construction), it became NationsBank's property following its creation in the 1991 hostile takeover of C&S/Sovran by NCNB.
