Bank of America Fifth Avenue Plaza

Bank of America Fifth Avenue Plaza is a tall office building with 42 floors in downtown Seattle, distinguished by its smooth, gleaming glass exterior. The interior houses thousands of workspaces in a modern office environment with reflective surfaces.

The building was constructed between 1979 and 1981 and originally served as the headquarters of Seafirst Bank before becoming Bank of America through corporate acquisition. This transformation reflected Seattle's growth into a major regional financial center.

The building dominates downtown Seattle's skyline with its reflective glass surface that mirrors the sky and surrounding cityscape. Pedestrians passing by see the city itself reflected in the shiny exterior, giving the structure a striking presence on the street.

The building is located downtown and is easily accessible on foot or by public transit. The lobby is open to visitors, especially if you want to explore the recently added indoor gardens and expanded spaces.

In 2022, the building underwent a major renovation adding new indoor gardens and expanded lobby spaces designed by architect firm Olson Kundig. This update transformed the entry areas into green, welcoming spaces within the busy downtown environment.
