Bank of America Plaza

Atlanta, United States

The 144th tallest building in the world

311.8 m · 1,023 ft

Bank of America Plaza (colloquially called the pencil building) is a supertall skyscraper between Midtown Atlanta and Downtown Atlanta, Georgia, United States. At 1,023 ft (312 m), as of August 2025, the tower is the 25th tallest building in the U.S. The Bank of America Plaza overtook the 820-foot (250 m), 50-story One Atlantic Center in height, which held the record as Georgia's tallest building, and was the tallest building in any U.S. state capital until August 2025, when the Waterline tower in Austin, Texas, was topped-out. It has 55 stories of office space and was completed in 1992, when it was called NationsBank Plaza. Originally intended to be the headquarters for Citizens & Southern National Bank (which merged with Sovran Bank during construction), it became NationsBank's property following its formation in the 1991 hostile takeover of C&S/Sovran by NCNB.
