Covering 363,473 square feet over 20 stories, the tower was built in 1989. The building has been in foreclosure since last year.

A previous owner of Fifth Third Center owed more than $15.7 million, according to court documents filed last year by Deutsche Bank.

The foreclosure complaint for the 1 S. Main St. office tower was filed June 1 last year in Montgomery County.

The tower has been home to tenants such as Fifth Third Bank, Wright-Patt Credit Union, Freund, Freeze & Arnold LLP, and law firm Dinsmore & Shohl LLP.
