U.S. Bank Center

The U.S. Bank Center is an office tower with 31 floors rising above downtown Phoenix in a minimalist International Style. The structure holds only office space throughout its height and serves as a workplace for multiple companies.

Architect Thomas F. Marshall designed this office building in 1973, with M. M. Sundt Construction Company completing it in 1976. The project marked a shift in Phoenix's development toward corporate modernization during that growth period.

The building marks a turning point in how Phoenix developed its downtown with corporate office towers. It shaped local perceptions of what a modern city center should look like and influenced later construction in the area.

The building sits at a central downtown intersection with easy access to restaurants, shops, and public transit options nearby. The location makes it simple to walk around the area and reach other attractions on foot.

The tower lost its corporate namesake in September 2022 when the bank departed after nearly two decades as the primary tenant. The removal of the signage changed how the building's facade appears from street level.
