20th Place South (formerly the Colonial Bank Building and BB&T Bank Building) is a five-story 125,722-square-foot office building at 2501 20th Place South, on the former Shades Valley High School site near the U.S. Highway 280 interchange with the Elton B. Stephens Expressway in Homewood. The $12 million building was constructed by B. L. Harbert International in 2001 for Colonial Bank.

It was designed by Williams Blackstock Architects with a dramatic tinted-glass facade expressed at the "bend" in the center of the L-shaped building. The sides and base are layered with precast concrete with punched openings. Because the building was visible from higher elevations, the mechanical equipment was placed in the basement rather than the roof. The lobby features polished stone walls and floors. The building includes a covered garage for executive parking and a large surface parking lot facing the main north entrance.

The building was acquired for $15.19 million by the Hertz Investment Group of Woodland Hills, California in 2015. Colliers International purchased the building in October 2020 for $22.5 million.
