100 North Main Building
 
 
At 430 feet, 100 North Main is currently Memphis' tallest skyscraper. The 37 story building was completed in 1965. For years, many people knew this highrise as the "UP" or "Union Planters" building as it was topped with a giant Union Planters Bank sign. This sign was removed in 2006. The building currently stands bordering Adams Street, North Second Street, and North Main.
