First National Bank plans to join the likes of UPMC, Highmark, BNY Mellon and other businesses with brand recognition dotting the Pittsburgh skyline.

FNB wants to put its initials and logo on the 26-story skyscraper under construction at the former Civic Arena site in the Lower Hill District, according to documents submitted to the city planning commission.

The bank’s application to install four, 996-square-foot-tall wall signs will be considered at Tuesday’s planning commission meeting.

Construction on the FNB Financial Center began in September 2021 and is expected to be completed in 2024.

With a $220 million price tag, the tower at the corner of Washington Place and Bedford Avenue will serve as the bank’s new headquarters, moving them from the North Shore. The site, on 28 acres site in the Lower Hill, also will be home to other businesses and attractions.

The project has been closely watched as it is meant to anchor redevelopment of the former site of the Civic Arena, which was demolished about a decade ago. Part of the Hill District was razed to clear the way for construction of the Civic Arena in the 1960s.
