Fifth Third Center

Fifth Third Center is an office skyscraper in downtown Cleveland that rises prominently above the former site where the historic Hollenden House Hotel once stood. The building was designed by RTKL Associates and provides extensive office space for businesses throughout the Cleveland area.

The building opened in 1991 as Bank One Center and represented a major shift in Cleveland's financial district development. Its completion marked the end of an era when hotels dominated this part of downtown.

The building represents the evolution of Cleveland's financial district, marking the transition from historical hotels to modern corporate structures.

The building is easily visible from the street with clearly marked entrances for visitors to locate. Access to interior spaces typically follows standard office building procedures during regular business hours.

The project resulted from a partnership between an American developer and a Tokyo-based real estate firm, an uncommon international collaboration for that era. This cross-border venture showed how Cleveland participated in global business networks.
