美國從1992年在支加哥舉辦的”高樓競賽論壇”(1992 Tribune Tower)，揭舉”世界最美麗的辦公大樓”起，美國各種新超高層大樓便如雨後春筍般的冒了出來；邁阿密在八0年代初期，房地產業也欣欣向榮，這棟”中央信託大樓”（美國銀行大樓）便是在由”中央信託儲蓄銀行”的總裁大衛．保羅(David Paul)邀請貝聿銘所創辦的 Pei Cobb Freed & Partners 公司一起來共襄盛舉。
這是一棟樓高47層，邁阿密的地標，建築地基的條件惡劣，夾在捷運基地旁，建築過程先從十一層的停車場蓋起，中間還發生火災，建築設計成三層大蛋榚，使得原有的樓層高出二倍，並形成特有的天際線，夜間以其特有的光影設計，成為邁阿密十大你必須參訪的建築。
