Incorporating the 14-story[1] former Barclays American building built in 1961,[2] it has 236,697 square feet (21,989.9 m2) of office and retail space and a 698-space parking deck.

History
The George Cutter Building and the NCNB Building across the street may have been the state's first Miesian glass and steel skyscrapers.[4] Their design was based on the Lever House skyscraper in New York City.[2]
American Credit Corporation, whose "ACC" logo on top of the building became prominent in Charlotte's skyline, became Barclays American in 1980.[5]
Spectrum Properties renovated the BarclaysAmerican building in the 1990s.[6] Tearing the building down was considered, but developers added a new exterior.[7]
At the time the building was sold for $68.5 million to a pension fund for the city of Detroit in 2006, major tenants included Wachovia, Dean & DeLuca, and a Marriott Courtyard hotel. Spectrum continued to manage the building.[8]
