Syracuse, N.Y. -- The Axa name has come off Axa Towers, a 19-story downtown Syracuse landmark since they were built in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The Axa sign has been removed from the twin office towers, leaving for the moment no name on the building. The company did not respond Friday to an inquiry from syracuse.com | The Post-Standard, but a new sign with the name Equitable is expected to go up soon.
Axa Equitable Holdings Inc., the towers’ anchor tenant, dropped the name Axa in January, rebranding itself as Equitable Holdings.
The insurance conglomerate was founded by Henry B. Hyde in 1859 as The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. It was acquired by the French company AXA S.A. in 1992. Axa ceased being the company’s majority owner when it completed a secondary public offering in March 2019.
This will be the third name for the towers. They were named MONY Towers when they were built. Axa acquired MONY Group in 2004.
The towers have 685,000 square feet of office, retail and commercial space.
