The building is often confused with Wachovia Center because of its similar facade and coloration. |
The building was originally built as Two Mack Center, building two after One Mack-Cali Center. |
Upon completion there were no reserved tenants for the building as the market for office space in downtown Tampa was saturated. |
Hillsborough County purchased the building in August 1992 for US $30 million. |
In 2000 the building was renamed Fred Karl County Center after a former Hillsborough County commissioner. |
The building's facade is painted salmon-mauve. |
The building's windows have a copper sheeting that for each window costs US $1,200 to replace. |
The building was re-roofed in 2001 for US $740,000. |
The building's lobby features a large dichroic glass sculpture designed by Kenneth vonRoenn, Jr. |
The building houses over 30 Hillsborough County departments. |
The building's design, especially the curving facade, was infleunced by Chicago's 333 Wacker Drive. |
The  Stovall Professional Building stood on the southwest corner of the building's site. |
