50 Fountain Plaza, formerly the Key Center North Tower, is a high-rise located in Buffalo, New York, USA. It is the eighth tallest building in Buffalo at 275 feet (85 m) and 17 stories tall.[1] The building has a twin tower next door, 40 Fountain Plaza (formerly Key Center South Tower) which is four stories shorter and connected by a two-story glass atrium encompassing 18,800 square feet of retail space. Once known as the Key Center, the complex is now simply known as Fountain Plaza after KeyBank moved out.[2] [3] Both buildings have distinctive pyramid tops that are trimmed with LED lighting strips which are illuminated at night and can change color for specific occasions or holidays.[4] In the front of the two towers is a large fountain in the summer. In the winter, it serves as an outdoor ice rink that is free to the public.[5]
Formerly home to KeyBank's Buffalo operations, the building is home to operations of Labatt Brewing Company's North American breweries sales and marketing and others.
