At 617 ft (188 m), it is the——tallest building in Jacksonville, 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.
