Facts
The Bank of America Plaza is the tallest building in the southern United States, and the tallest in any state capital.
It was built in only 14 months, one of the fastest construction schedules for any 1,000 foot building.
Located on 3.7 acres on Peachtree Street, the tower faces its border streets at a 45-degree angle to maximize the views to the north and south.
Crowning the building is a stepped pyramid formed from an open steel frame that tapers to a 90-foot high spire. Four hundred and five square feet of the spire is applied with 23-karat gold leaf.
The C & S Bank North was demolished upon the completion of this tower to make way for an attached conference center.
Originally proposed at 53 floors, 2 additional floors were added to the proposal in May 1990 due to stronger than expected demand.
