The tower, originally proposed as Columbia Center, opened under the name Columbia Seafirst Center after its largest tenant and financier, Seafirst Bank, and then changed to the Bank of America Tower, when Seafirst, which had been owned by Bank of America since 1983, was fully integrated into Bank of America.
Вскоре после этого по инициативе "Bank of America", который был материнским банком для Seafirst Bank, название здания было изменено на "Bank of America Tower".
