History
Two Hannover Square, built by the same company as nearby One Hannover Square, opened in 1991 as one of the two tallest buildings in Raleigh, the other being First Union Capitol Center. Because both buildings added so much office space to downtown Raleigh at about the same time, the owners had a hard time finding tenants, and in the case of Two Hannover Plaza, the result was bankruptcy.
Phoenix Limited Partnership bought Two Hannover Plaza in 1993 for $18.5 million.Dudley Price, "Owner of Raleigh, N.C., Office Building to Sell," News & Observer, 2001-02-22.
In late 2021, the building's iconic BB&T logo was replaced with that Truist Financial, the company that formed from the merger of BB&T and SunTrust Bank.
