I've compiled some pics of BofA towers in various cities.
Atlanta. 1023 feet. Tallest BofA tower of any city; unsure if the height includes the spire or not. Thought of as a height cheater with those antennas sticking out the spire 1000 feet higher! :lol:
Posted Image
Seattle. 954 feet. Tallest in the city.
Posted Image
New York City. 945 feet. To be finished in 2008.
Posted Image
Dallas. 921 feet. Tallest in the city; outlined in green neon lighting at night.
Posted Image
Charlotte. 871 feet. Tallest in the city; supposedly the BofA HQs.
Posted Image
Houston. 780 feet. Fourth tallest in the city; three-level spire design.
Posted Image
San Francisco. 779 feet. Second tallest in the city; original BofA tower when built in the 70s.
Posted Image
Miami. 625 feet. Third tallest in the city; outlined in blue at night.
Posted Image

Now post your BofA towers.

LOL, sometimes it seems like Detroit is the only city without a BOA building. That's ok though...I'd rather see Comerica Bank in the city as opposed to BOA any day.

This is Bank of America Plaza

This was formerly known as Bank of America Tower, it is now the Wilbur Smith Building.

Great thread idea!

Isn't there one on Brickel Key or along Brickel Avenue? It is smaller than the other one.

now that you mention it, yes.

I believe it's this one.

But the previous is the only one known as the Bank of America building.

I agree. Atlanta's is borderlined between DT and Midtown. If it wasn't for I-75/85 slicing thru.

The one in Atlanta is really sweet looking. It is detached from the majority of downtown but there are other buildings around it.

The best view of Downtown and Midtown would be coming from the North side of town, such as on Peachtree Street. Pic courtesy of LSyd of SSC. Note how BofA might be cheating to be the tallest in the world with that antenna! :lol:

Providence:

The building on the right is known as the Superman Building but it is officially called the Fleet Bank Building. Of course BofA bought Fleet so this building is probably due for a name change. However, prior to the merger, Fleet sold the building and is now a tenant.

The building in the centre is called the Fleet Centre, obviously also due for a name change. I'm not sure if Fleet/BofA still owns that one.

I haven't heard officially if either of these buildings will take the BofA name.
