Tower with decidedly corporate identity trying to capitalize on trend
At the northern edge of downtown, Bank of America Plaza stands as the tallest building in the city, a reminder of the market optimism of the early 1990s.
The half-vacant building also stands as a reminder of just how far the city has to go to fully recover from the economic downtown.
However, new owners Shorenstein are hoping to lure dynamic smaller companies to the building which, since its construction, has been the epitome of a standard corporate office tower. With killer views.
Bisnow reports that 24,000 square feet of office space will be converted into open and airy loft offices to be dubbed “The Block @ BofAP” — because nothing says “millennial” bait quite like the “at” sign and abbreviations.

The office suites are meant to attract “small companies purely based on the uniqueness of the spaces,” CBRE’s Jeff Keppen told Bisnow.
The move comes as similar offerings pop up around the city, following the highly successful loft offices at Ponce City Market.
