Bank of America Plaza (Atlanta) The Bank of America Plaza is a skyscraper located in Midtown Atlanta. Standing in at 312m (1023 ft.), it ranks as the 20th tallest building in the world. It is also the tallest building in the United States outside of Chicago and New York City. It has 55 stories of office space and was finished in 1992, when it was called the NationsBank Building. Spire of the BoA Plaza There is a large pyramid-like spire at the top of the building, most of which is covered in 24-karat Swarovski gold. This causes the spire to glow at night like an orange Christmas tree. The building was designed by the architectural firm Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates. It is owned and operated by the Bank of America. It is sometimes locally referred to as the "pencil building", for its resemblance to a pencil. Two low-power TV stations currently share an antenna at the top of the building: WANN-LP (32), and WDTA-LP (53), though the latter has applied to move less than 1km south.
