New Building, Old History | Charlotte News
Description
A bold move is underway to get the NationsBank Corporate Center — a 1987 postmodern skyscraper that broke banking-era design norms — designated as historic. Developers seek this status to unlock tax credits for a major renovation aimed at attracting new tenants, sparking debate among preservationists who argue even newer buildings can hold vital urban history. With the city’s planning commission now reviewing the application, this case could reshape how mid-20th century architecture is valued — setting a precedent for balancing progress with preservation.
