400 South Tryon, Commercial skyscraper in Charlotte, United States.
400 South Tryon is a modern office tower with 34 floors rising roughly 420 feet (128 meters) into Charlotte's skyline. The building provides expansive commercial space spread across its floors to house different types of businesses.
The tower was built between 1972 and 1974, marking an important moment in Charlotte's business expansion. Its rapid construction reflected the economic growth that swept through the city during that decade.
The building represents the commercial development of Charlotte's urban center during the 1970s expansion of American business districts.
Visitors can admire the building from street level and enjoy different views from surrounding sidewalks. Its central location makes it easy to explore while walking through downtown Charlotte.
Early construction plans considered building it even taller to surpass a competing nearby tower. These ambitious plans never came to fruition, but they reveal the fierce competition between developers shaping Charlotte's skyline at that time.
