Planning and construction

Key Bank Tower was designed by NBBJ,[1] an architecture firm from Seattle, and funded by the AFL-CIO trust. It was originally part of a larger development, named "Colby Square", that was later scrapped.[6] Construction started in 1991 and ended in 1994. The building opened in 1994 and was purchased by Skotdal Real Estate in 1997.[7]
