**John Hand Building** is a mixed-use [high rise](/source/High_rise) building in [Birmingham, Alabama](/source/Birmingham,_Alabama), US, with a height of 287 feet (87 m). It was the tallest building in the city until surpassed by the [City Federal Building](/source/City_Federal_Building) in 1913. It comprises 20 floors and was completed in 1912.[2] The lower eight floors are for [commercial](/source/Commerce) use and the upper twelve floors are for [residential](/source/Residential) use. In 1983, the building was added to the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places).[1]

From the time of its construction and up until the mid-1990s, the building had been owned and occupied by [AmSouth Bancorporation](/source/AmSouth_Bancorporation) and its predecessors. After AmSouth relocated employees to its other downtown offices and its Riverchase Campus, the building was sold to a group of developers. In 2000, it was renovated at a cost of $20 million. It served as the corporate headquarters of [Cadence Bank](/source/Cadence_Bank_(1887%E2%80%932021)) and its predecessor bank until 2013 when it relocated to the [Concord Center](/source/Concord_Center). The building now has since served as the corporate headquarters for [Shipt](/source/Shipt), which had its logo on the south-side of the building until 2022, when it was replaced by the logo for Shipt's sister company, Landing.
