Regions Center, Nashville

Regions Center, Nashville

The Regions Center is a prominent skyscraper standing at 108 meters (354 feet) tall with 28 stories, situated on Deaderick Street. It functions as the Tennessee headquarters for Regions Financial Corporation. This structure was completed in the year 1974 and initially bore the name "First American Center." However, the name underwent a change due to the merger of First American National Bank with AmSouth Bank. Following this alteration, there was a significant renovation of the building's ground-level exterior. Subsequently, the name was changed once more to Regions Center when AmSouth merged with Regions.

The building primarily serves as the Tennessee headquarters for Regions Bank, which is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Additionally, various unrelated businesses lease space in the upper floors of the building. Historically, it served as the main office and headquarters for First American National Bank until AmSouth's acquisition of the larger First American National Corporation in 2000. This move followed a series of unprofitable mergers by the latter. On May 25, 2006, AmSouth announced its merger with Regions Financial. The specifics of the new company's presence within the building remain unknown at this time.

Beneath the building, there is a relatively small parking garage exclusively intended for customers visiting the bank's branch. An interesting historical note is that in 1971, during property excavation, the site gained national attention due to the discovery of remains from a saber-toothed tiger.
