The Bank of America Plaza is a skyscraper in San Antonio, Texas, USA. It opened in 1984 as Interfirst Bank Plaza, was designed by the Houston office of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and is 28 stories high.[2] The building has a postmodern design and a roof height of 387 feet (118 meters).[3]

It is the largest office building in the city with 533,171 feet of office space. It is also the city's 6th tallest building.[4]

In 2016 a piece of art called Kinetic Skyline was installed on the side of Bank of America Plaza.[5] USAA purchased the building in downtown San Antonio on August 14, 2017,[6] but ended its deal to move 2,000 employees into downtown offices with the City of San Antonio and Bexar County in spring of 2022.[7]

The building was used for establishing shots in the opening credits and in episodes for the offices of the title character in the short lived NBC television series "J.J. Starbuck."
