1600 Pacific Tower

1600 Pacific Tower is an office building in downtown Dallas comprising 33 floors that reach approximately 132 meters above street level. The facade displays dark glass panels separated by aluminum framing across the entire structure.

Construction was completed in 1964 when it operated as the National Bank of Commerce Building and ranked as the fifth tallest structure in the city. The tower marked an important milestone in Dallas's growth as a financial hub during that era.

The building exemplifies the architectural progression of Dallas in the 1960s, marking the city's transformation into a major financial center.

The building is serviced by eight elevators distributed throughout its mixed-use layout. Hotel accommodations occupy the lower portion while residential units are located in the upper levels.

The building pioneered Teller-Vision in the 1960s, an innovative banking system using closed-circuit television cameras to conduct customer transactions from vehicles. This drive-up service represented one of the earliest applications of television technology in banking operations.
