First National Tower

Omaha, Nebraska

Owner:
First National Bank

First National Bank's goals in building a 40-story office tower were enhancing its image as a leading financial institution and consolidating staff into a corporate campus. As a corporate citizen, it also wanted to invest in the city it has called home for 150 years.

The First National Tower establishes a benchmark for design excellence and has served as a catalyst for public/private investment in downtown revitalization. Providing a skyline enhancing profile, its composition suggests strength and stability. The base and piers are clad in warm-toned granite. Glazing reflects weather patterns and colors of the Missouri River. Polished black granite at ground level provides a crisp finish. A 60-ft. high glass-enclosed winter garden overlooks an exterior plaza and fountain providing a public space and crystalline campus centerpiece. The wintergarden's focal point is a four-story section of terra cotta, limestone and brick upper facade from the 1924 building that originally occupied the site.
