400 South Tryon, formerly called the Wachovia Center, is a high-rise office building in Charlotte center city, North Carolina. When it was being built, there were rumors that the developer intended to add ten more floors to pass Bank of America Plaza, and become the tallest building in Charlotte. It is now the 15th tallest building.[5][6][7] Construction of the building began in 1972 and was completed in 1974.[8] Tryon Property Group bought the building in 2018 for $133.5 million.[9] In April 2025 the building was put up for public auction. The only bid was for $36 million, from the lender, listed as 400 South Tryon LP. At the time of the auction the building was 23% occupied.[10][1]
