Planning and construction

Key Bank Tower was designed by NBBJ, 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. Construction started in 1991 and ended in 1994. The building opened in 1994 and was purchased by Skotdal Real Estate in 1997.
