The Bank of America Corporate Center is an 871 ft (265m) skyscraper in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. When completed in 1992, it became and still is the tallest building in North Carolina as well as the tallest building between Philadelphia and Atlanta; it stretches 60 stories high. Designed by Argentine architect César Pelli, it is the 23rd tallest building in the United States and is the most widely known building in the Charlotte skyline.

The Bank of America Corporate Center is the world headquarters for Bank of America, the second biggest bank in the United States. The building was originally the headquarters of NationsBank, which bought Bank of America and disposed of BankAmerica's headquarters at the Bank of America Center in San Francisco. McKinsey & Company is also a tenant in the tower.

The Wells Fargo Bank Plaza, formerly the Allied Bank Plaza and First Interstate Bank Plaza, is located in downtown Houston, Texas.

This building is the 11th Tallest Building in the United States, and the second tallest building in Texas and Houston, after Houston's JPMorgan Chase Tower.

The building was built at 1000 Louisiana Street in 1983. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Lloyd Jones Brewer and Associates and supposedly resembles an abstracted dollar sign in plan. The shape creates extreme wind stress, twisting the building violently in storms. In 1983 the building lost a large number of windows during Hurricane Alicia.

From street level, this building is 71 stories tall, or 970 feet (296 m) tall. But it extends four more stories below street level, with a subterranean (but open-air) plaza.
