PNC Center, Office skyscraper in downtown Fort Lauderdale, United States
The PNC Center is a 22-story office building in downtown Fort Lauderdale with a glass and steel facade. Located at the intersection of East Broward Boulevard and Federal Highway, it occupies a central position in the business district.
The building opened in 1991 as First Union Center. It was later renamed Wachovia Center after Wachovia became the building's largest tenant, and it now carries the PNC Center name. It stands in downtown Fort Lauderdale and was designed by RTKL Associates.
The building reflects 1990s commercial development in Fort Lauderdale with its contemporary glass and steel design. It shapes the downtown skyline and serves as a landmark in the city's financial district.
The tower stands at the corner of East Broward Boulevard and Federal Highway, so it is reached on foot from the surrounding downtown blocks. It is an office building rather than a public attraction, and visitors normally have business with a tenant. The 22 floors are served by elevators from the lobby.
The building was among the first modern high-rises in Fort Lauderdale and helped establish the city as a financial hub. Its architectural choices later influenced the style of other office buildings throughout the region.
