Bank of America Center

The Bank of America Center is a 224-meter tower featuring vertical granite piers arranged at a forty-five-degree angle to the street, with all four sides oriented to cardinal directions. It contains 55 floors above ground, nine levels of underground parking, and 30 elevators serving approximately 1.4 million square feet of rentable office space.

The tower opened in 1975 under the name Security Pacific Plaza, serving as the headquarters for the financial institution. Following Bank of America's acquisition of Security Pacific in 1992, the building assumed its current name and corporate identity.

Alexander Calder's sculpture 'Four Arches' greets visitors at the main entrance and serves as a focal point for the plaza. The artwork creates a sense of openness and connection within the corporate environment.

The building sits in Bunker Hill and is readily accessible via public transportation throughout the downtown area. The plaza outside provides open space with water features and landscaping where visitors can spend time.

Three waterfalls, each 24 feet tall, cascade in the plaza outside the main entrance, creating movement and sound in the urban setting. Over 200 tree specimens including Eucalyptus and Jacaranda form a green ring around the water features.
