American/Interstate Signcrafters Inc. of Boynton Beach is the contractor for the project, including the Truist name, logo and directional signs for parking, the entrance and the ATM.

The Downtown Investment Authority said the signs were not required to request Downtown Development Review Board approval because they met code, meaning they were under the allowed square footage.

On July 2, 2020, First Horizon National Corp., based in Memphis, Tennessee, and IberiaBank Corp., of Lafayatte, Louisiana, announced they completed their all-stock $3.9 billion merger of equals. 

The combined company is headquartered in Memphis and operates under the First Horizon name.

Its two Northeast Florida offices are Downtown and in Ponte Vedra Beach. The Downtown building is next to the Bank of America Tower.

The combined company has $89 billion in assets, $74.6 billion in deposits and $54.7 billion in loans as of Dec. 31.
