The PNC Building, officially One Cascade Plaza, is a 23-story high-rise structure in Downtown Akron, Ohio. The building is the second-tallest in Akron. It was owned by the National City Bank until 2008, when the Pittsburgh-based PNC Bank purchased the company. In 2016, after years of the bank only having street-level signage outside the structure, PNC opted to install skyline signage on all four sides of the structure.[1]
The building was completed in 1968.[2] In 2018, much of the building's machinery was removed and replaced amid an $8.5 million (equivalent to $10.6 million in 2024)[3] renovation for energy efficiency upgrades.[4]
