The Truist Center is a 47-story, 659 feet (201 m) skyscraper in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.[1] The city's third tallest building, it is located along North Tryon Street. It was opened on November 14, 2002, and was the city's second tallest building,[4] and was known as the "Hearst Tower" until 2019. The structure is composed of a 32-story tower resting atop a 15-floor podium. During Bank of America's occupancy in the building located on the podium was a three-story trading facility designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and operated by Bank of America. The trading facility included a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2), two-story trading floor. Now the former trading floor is part of Truist's 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) technology innovation center.[5] The building is currently the headquarters of Truist Financial, which purchased the building in March 2020.[6]
