Bank of America Tower (originally Barnett Center) is a skyscraper in the downtown area of Jacksonville, Florida, at the northwest corner of Bay and Laura streets. At 617feet, it is the tallest building in Jacksonville,[1] the 25th-tallest in Florida, and the tallest building in Florida outside of the Miami metropolitan area. It was built as the headquarters of Barnett Bank and originally named Barnett Center, but the name was changed to NationsBank Tower in 1998 after Barnett Bank was acquired by NationsBank. NationsBank was soon acquired by Bank of America and the building's name was changed to Bank of America Tower in 1999. The 42-floor structure was designed by German-American architect Helmut Jahn, and is constructed of reinforced concrete. It was built on the site of the Heard National Bank Building, the former tallest structure in Florida for twelve years. In 2020, Group RMC purchased the property from Hertz Investment Group.
