About Bank of America Plaza (Atlanta)#

Bank of America Plaza is a 20th-century skyscraper in downtown Atlanta and the tallest building in the city and state, notable for its slender profile and illuminated spire. The tower was completed in the early 1990s and serves primarily as commercial office space.

Its illuminated spire and height make it a major visual landmark on Atlanta’s skyline, visible across much of the central city. The building contains office floors, lobby spaces and service areas and is not primarily a public tourist attraction, though it is often photographed from nearby viewpoints. Access to upper floors is restricted to tenants and authorised visitors.

The tower was developed and completed during a period of major commercial construction in Atlanta and remains a focal point of the central business district. Its presence reflects late 20th-century corporate architecture and city-centre development patterns.

The building stands on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, within the central business district and close to other major towers, transit links and city amenities.

  • Height and status: At 312 metres to the tip of its spire, it is the tallest building in Atlanta and the state of Georgia and a prominent feature of the city skyline after its completion in 1992.
  • Function and visibility: The tower is primarily an office building and is visible from many vantage points across the city thanks to its lit spire and location on Peachtree Street.

The tower is in Midtown Atlanta near the junction of Peachtree Street and 14th Street. MARTA rail service to Midtown (Arts Center or Midtown stations) and local buses serve the area; by car follow Peachtree Street north from downtown.
