PNC Center, Office skyscraper in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
PNC Center is a modern office skyscraper in Cincinnati with 27 floors and a height of 108 meters. Its light-colored exterior features a regular pattern of rectangular windows across the facade.
Completed in 1979, this building was the tallest structure built in Cincinnati during the 1970s. It represented the city's push toward vertical growth during that decade.
The structure represents the evolution of corporate architecture in Ohio, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to serve as Central Trust Bank headquarters.
The building sits at the corner of Main Street and East Fifth Street, with a public plaza accessible on its southeast side. Ten elevators inside help move people efficiently between the 27 floors.
The structure features distinctive stepped setbacks on both horizontal and vertical planes, departing from the boxy designs typical of 1970s skyscrapers. This layered form was an intentional design choice by its architects.
