Bank of America Tower, Office skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, United States
The Bank of America Tower is an office skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan with 55 floors above ground and three basement levels, reaching a total height of 365.8 meters (1200 feet). Its architecture follows deconstructivism and shows sharp angles and offset volumes that depart from traditional rectangular tower design.
Construction began in 2004 and finished in 2009 following an investment of approximately one billion dollars. The project arose during a boom for high-rise office towers in Manhattan, when many companies sought new headquarters.
This structure combines office space with the Stephen Sondheim Theatre at its base, creating a mix of work and entertainment in one location. Anita's Way serves as a public passage from Broadway to the theater and is used daily by commuters and theatergoers alike.
The location near 42nd Street – Bryant Park subway station allows quick access to multiple lines. The building is open daily for office tenants, while the theater at the base has its own hours for performances.
This structure became the first tower in New York to earn LEED Platinum certification through its cogeneration plant and water recycling systems. The facade uses specially coated glass that reflects heat while allowing natural light into the offices.
