History
U.S. Bank Tower was originally announced in August 1968 and was built for First National of Lincoln. The building was originally known as the First National Bank Building.[1] Construction began the following year. It was announced as the tallest commercial building in Lincoln.[2] The tower opened in 1970 and was occupied by both First National of Lincoln, and the Nebraska Club, which moved from Hotel Cornhusker.[3]
In 1997, following First National of Lincoln's merger with U.S. Bancorp, the building's name was changed to the U.S. Bank Building. Additionally, the logo was replaced to reflect the change.[4] The Nebraska Club later vacated the building following its dissolution in 2020.[3] In 2022, the building was sold from U.S. Bancorp to Crescent Investment Group and MAP Holdings.[5]

The U.S. Bank Tower is 220 feet (67 m) tall and has twenty floors. It is the third tallest building in Lincoln, and is the fifteenth tallest in the state.[6] The tower is mae out of dark colored glass with white concrete beams extruding through each section.[7] The 20th floor housed the Nebraska Club from 1970, to its dissolution in 2020. The Nebraska Club included a restaurant and office space.[8]
