Location at the Galleria

In 1986 when the Galleria opened it was accessed by a ramp behind Macy's on the exterior and the food court elevator up at the third floor on the interior. In the future the tower will connect to both the JCPenney parking deck and the Sears parking deck. This will give easy access from the exterior and parking to the offices. Von Maur may tamper with the plans just before "Ground Breaking" day.

Tenants

One of the major tenants of the building is Walter Energy. MedPartners was headquartered in the building from 1993 until 2004. For a period of time the MedPartners logo was displayed at the top of the building, but it was removed following the company changing its name to Caremark Rx in 2000. Caremark relocated from the building in 2004. Surgical Care Affiliates relocated at the start of 2015. KBR (Kellogg Brown and Root) Birmingham have plans to move to the tower in May 2016.
