Bank of America Center, Office building in Downtown Austin, United States
Bank of America Center is a 26-story office tower in downtown Austin that occupies a prominent position between 5th and 6th Streets on Congress Avenue. The building functions primarily as office and banking space serving the central business district.
The building was completed in 1975 and held the title of Austin's tallest structure until another tower surpassed it in 1984. Its construction marked a significant moment in the city's vertical expansion during the late 20th century.
The building's design takes inspiration from Pennzoil Place in Houston, showing how Texas office towers share common design ideas and influences across the state.
The building sits in the heart of downtown and is easily walkable from surrounding areas and the Congress Avenue District. Nearby streets offer parking options and connections to public transportation for visitors.
The building incorporates materials salvaged from an earlier Texas construction project. This feature shows an early commitment to material reuse in commercial building practices.
