Bank of America Plaza is Atlanta’s tallest skyscraper - and these days one of its loneliest.
Though the 55-story tower’s soaring gold-leaf spire still glitters from afar, the building is nearly half empty.
A building that once symbolized Atlanta’s business vitality now stands as a 1,023-foot-tall monument to the real estate bust, and a measure of the region’s halting recovery.
A year ago the tower at the border of downtown and Midtown suffered the ignominy of becoming the tallest U.S. building foreclosed since the recession. Occupancy is down since then, and at least two more major tenants could walk.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution takes a look at the iconic tower, and the road ahead to bring it back to health. It’s a story you can only read in print or on tablet devices.
