The Virginia National Bank Headquarters Historic District consists of a high-rise office tower, an adjacent parking structure, and a public plaza situated in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Enclosed by East Main Street, Atlantic Street, Commercial Place, and Waterside Drive, the district features the 24-story Virginia National Bank building, which was erected between 1965 and 1967. This building was designed by the prominent architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, renowned during that era. The design thoughtfully incorporates both the plaza and parking garage, showcasing architectural and landscape design trends from the mid-20th century. This project played a key role in sparking downtown Norfolk's urban renewal.
In late 2015, a redevelopment initiative was announced to transform the structure into a luxury residential tower comprising 300 apartments with retail spaces on the ground floor, under the new name Icon Norfolk.
The district earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
