Designed by the architectural firm Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates, Bank of America Plaza stands as a prominent postmodern skyscraper in Atlanta's skyline. Originally named NationsBank Plaza, its construction was finalized in 1992. The building is characterized by its slender, obelisk-like form, clad in sunset-hued granite, and is topped by a distinctive 90-foot (27-meter) pyramidal spire. This spire is gilded with 23-karat gold leaf and is often illuminated, making it a highly recognizable landmark.
The Bank of America Plaza primarily serves as commercial office space. For a significant period after its completion, it held the distinction of being the tallest building in the United States outside of New York City and Chicago.
