The Regions Harbert Plaza rises 32-stories over downtown Birmingham and is a distinctive part of the city’s skyline. The office tower though is at a point of transition as Regions plans to vacate the building by the end of the year. That’ll open up about a quarter of the office space there. We talk about how the New York firm that owns the building is approaching the situation in this week’s Magic City Marketplace.
