Bank of America Tower, Office skyscraper in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
The Bank of America Tower is a 360-foot (110 m) office highrise in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, completed in 2000 and designed in the postmodern style by Opus Architects and Engineers. It rises 23 floors, with no floor designated as 13, and forms the centerpiece of the Collier Center complex. Its facade mixes brown-framed rectangular windows with broad vertical bands of dark reflective glass, and the top level bears the words "Bank of America" in white lettering beside a logo.
The building was completed in 2000 as part of the Collier Center development, which aimed to reshape the financial core of downtown Phoenix. Its opening came at a moment when the city was actively investing in its central district.
The tower's exterior has carried temporary advertising graphics tied to local events. In January 2008 a Vince Lombardi Trophy image covered the north face across 18 floors ahead of Super Bowl XLII. In February 2009, T-Mobile messages for the NBA All-Star Game wrapped the east and south faces, built from over 1,400 perforated panels.
The building sits in the heart of downtown Phoenix and is easy to reach by the city's main public transit options. A banking branch inside the tower is open to visitors, though most floors are reserved for office use.
The tower has no floor numbered 13, so its 23 levels run from 1 to 12 and then 14 upward. Bank of America occupies floors 19 to 24, and the second floor holds the branch, main lobby and the elevators to the upper floors.
