Daniel Building, Office building in downtown Birmingham, United States

The Daniel Building is a 20-story, 238-foot (86 m) office tower in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Completed in 1970, it stands outside the Central Business District and is the tallest building in that part of downtown. It was built as a regional office for the engineering and construction firm Daniel International.

The building was constructed in 1970 as headquarters for Daniel International's real estate operations. Compass Bancshares assumed ownership in 1993, marking a transition in the property's corporate leadership and function.

The building's name comes from Daniel International, the engineering and construction firm for which it was built as a regional office in 1970; its real estate arm, Daniel Realty, later became Daniel Corporation. After Compass Bancshares moved its headquarters in following the 1993 purchase, the tower remained a corporate address in the city's office stock.

The Daniel Building stands outside Birmingham's Central Business District, so it is reached by car or bus rather than on a downtown walking route. The July 5, 2010 basement fire forced employees to relocate to other facilities while repairs were carried out, showing that access to the tower depends on the owner's operations. UAB Medicine Enterprise bought the building on September 6, 2023, so visitor access follows the current occupant's arrangements.

The Daniel Building is the tallest building in downtown Birmingham outside the Central Business District. On July 5, 2010, a two-alarm electrical fire broke out in its basement, causing severe damage there, water damage on the first floor and smoke damage several floors up; employees were moved to other facilities during repairs.
