Johnston Building (Charlotte, North Carolina)

The Johnston Building, also known as the Midtown Plaza, is a 17-story office high-rise in Charlotte, North Carolina with an approximate height of 225.65 feet (69 m).

Located at 212 South Tryon Street, the lot was home to the Trust Building, which burned in 1922.

Rental agent Thomas Griffith said the Johnston Building had tenants booked even before completion.

A 1927 Chamber of Commerce report said the Johnston Building had 125,000 square feet (11,600 m2) of "first class" office space.

Anchor Mills decided to sell the property in 1975 due to the younger Johnston's health problems.

Part of the project is leveraging the building's age and historic significance to get tax credits from the National Park Service.
