Boston doesn't officially have one, but the tall building on the right, with the bulge in the lower floors (locally known as "the pregnant building" was Fleet's headquarters until the merger (buyout). A name change might be in order, although I think BoA plans on selling it instead...
...afterall, they already have rights to the Fleet Center

Here is the Bank of America Building in my town of Greenville, SC, building a small town and that the building was constructed in the 70's it is not quite as nice as the others yall have posted.

Not the most exciting BoA building, but it's a nice building nonetheless.

Texas has some ugly skyscrapers.

What?! It's not like Houston's BofA is that ugly just because it has that gothic style art-deco to it, much like Atlantic Center. It may seem overrated, but it isn't as bad as you think in person. And as for Dallas, the BofA there is just a glass box; the neon really makes it shine. Speaking of ugly, though I did create this, IMO Atlanta's is the least likeable due to the batcage.

Anyways, more pics:

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.

:lol: Jealous. Well, too bad.

Providence's 'Superman Building' got the BofA name placed on it today. The Fleet Skating Centre in Kennedy Plaza also had it's Fleet signs taken down, Bank of America Skating Centre signs are expected to go up soon.

The last Fleet signs came down from bank branches last Monday, but Boston's FleetCenter is still ... the FleetCenter.

Interesting, turns out BofA building were in two other cities as well. The one I'm most familiar with is the SF BofA or triple five cal. It looks hulking and Darth Vader like.

Beside BoA Atlanta there's an exit/entrance ramp to the 14 lane I-75/85 corridor. Its anti-urban. LOL

@ Claws: Yes, BofA is Dallas' tallest at 921 feet, just like I stated in the first post of the thread.

@ Heckles: Not only that, the No-Man's-Land location makes it even worse.

I think it might be the shortest BofA tower.

San Jose has what is probably the oldest Bank of America tower (founder of BofA was a San Jose native). I'll have to snap a photo of it but until then:


top row, second from the left
BofA is such a part of Bay Area history that it's hard for me to even think of this company headquartered in Charlotte as being Bank of America. It's really just NationsBank with a new name.

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:

That's a television tower in that pic. I live near that tower, BofA doesn't have an antennae on it, it only has a gold plated spire that, technically is a part of the bldg.[/SIZE]
