The\u00a0Comerica<\/a> lettering that clung near the top of a Dallas<\/a> skyscraper is coming down.<\/p>\n

With little fanfare, branding for the bank was removed from parts of the 60-story\u00a0Comerica Bank Tower<\/a> in recent days. It\u2019s unclear when the work began, but social media posts said\u00a0some letters were gone by Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

As of Monday morning, only the side of the building facing Ervay Street still had Comerica branding attached near the tower\u2019s top. Crews weren\u2019t seen working on the high-rise, and other Comerica branding around the property remained.<\/p>\n

Fifth Third and building owner Slate Asset Management declined to answer questions about the sign removal and related topics.<\/p>\n

The move was expected. Comerica was acquired by Fifth Third Bancorp\u00a0<\/a>earlier this year, and Fifth Third leaders said in May that the Ohio-based bank would leave\u00a0Comerica Bank Tower<\/a> in the coming months. Fifth Third plans to take multiple floors at 8300 Douglas, a mixed-use development in Preston Center owned by\u00a0Ramrock and developed by Lincoln Property Co. The project will feature a 12-story office building and a 17-story residential tower.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether bank employees are still based at the downtown skyscraper. Fifth Third\u2019s lease in the tower at 1717 Main St. runs through 2028. The property is 68% leased. Once Fifth Third leaves, the tower\u2019s occupancy may drop to 57%, according to data from real estate firm\u00a0CoStar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Comerica Bank Tower is Dallas\u2019 third-tallest building. Comerica made the building its headquarters after moving from Detroit to Dallas in 2007.<\/p>\n

Toronto-based Slate Asset Management <\/a>acquired the skyscraper in 2024, and the Canadian owners pitched an ambitious redevelopment plan that would convert portions of the roughly 1.5-million-square-foot office tower into a 242-room hotel and 240 residential units. The plan also calls for a new 437-space parking garage to replace a landscaped plaza and banking hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0Comerica lettering that clung near the top of a Dallas skyscraper is coming down.
