First National Bank Tower, also known
as One First National Center, is located at 1601 Dodge Street in Omaha
Nebraska. It stands 634 feet high with 45 floors. This postmodern skyscraper
with its granite façade was completed in 2002, but it became the tallest
building in the state on January 23, 2001, when its construction surpassed the
previous record holding Woodmen tower at 458 feet tall. The world’s largest
drilling rig was brought in from Denver to drill the caissons for the building.
The lobby is home to a 60 foot tall
glass winter garden, with a south wall incorporating part of the previous
building’s façade. The Medical
Arts Building stood 17 stories tall and was demolished to make room for this building.
First National Bank Tower hosts an annual stair race called
Trek up the Tower presented by The Wellness
Council of the Midlands.
