History
During the late nineteenth century, the building site had been the home of the Denison Hotel.[9] The building was developed as First Indiana Plaza by Indianapolis-based Phillip R. Duke and Associates and construction was started in mid 1986 following the demolition of the seven-story Denison Parking garage on the site.[1] When the building opened in April 1988, it served as the headquarters of the First Indiana Federal Savings Bank, the building's major tenant.[2] In September 2008, the building was renamed M&I Plaza following the acquisition of First Indiana by Marshall & Ilsley Corporation earlier that year.[10] Three years later, the building changed name a second time to BMO Plaza.[11] In 2018, it was sold to a new owner for $70 million.[7]
