History
KeyBank moved out of the building in 2011 and opened a new branch and regional headquarters a block away. White Hat Management, one of the state's largest for-profit managers of charter schools, also vacated the building in 2011. After that, 40% of the building was left unoccupied. The building was redeveloped into a mixed use building with offices and luxury residences. The ground floor was converted to event space. [2]
