probably one of the better buildings in Atlanta, the design is intricate without being overtly busy..it looks great at night too...
8.5/10

I just noticed that SunTrust Plaza and Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte are both 871 ft and 60 floors. Why does Bank of America rank #53 if they are tied with height and floors? Did they rank it 53 because "Bank" comes before "Sun" in the alphabet?

Waiting for an explanation or a simple guess....YAWWWWWN!

Bobdreamz · November 20th, 2002, 05:12 AM

Westin they are in the process of rearranging the top 100 as some buildings have topped out and others have fallen off the list.
Don't sweat it the update will be done soon..!

Thanks bob!

There's glitz...there's glam...it's good. Me likey. I've always thought this was one of the better 'scrapers in the ATL skyline...a few of them fall short of lovely. SunTrust is a real 'beaut though.

8.5

(Not a typical Portman, though.)

Suntrust should be higher than B of A in Charlotte. The top of the building is not a crown or spire. They're actually ocupiable floors where all the chief executives of Suntrust work. The occupiable floors go all the way to the top of the building. Basically, it's the tallest building in the south to the highest floor.

What he said, only I'll give it a 7.5/10.

renell · March 24th, 2003, 04:44 PM

Westin Peachtree · April 1st, 2003, 06:20 PM

Here is SunTrust Plaza from the 15th floor of the Museum Tower at Centennial Hill. I'd love to live in this apartment!

Hypernovean · April 2nd, 2003, 07:22 AM

Looks over the top to me.

7 I don't know how to explain it... but for some reason... I love this building lit up at night... but not in the day...

April 16th, 2003, 09:49 PM

I like the roof, but it doesn't combine with the rest of the building, which looks vague.
