Pacific Place, Skyscraper in Dallas, United States
Pacific Place is a twenty-story office tower in downtown Dallas that forms part of the cluster of commercial buildings in the city center. The structure provides office space for businesses and sits at a central location within the main business district.
The building was completed in 1982 and marked a turning point in the development of Dallas' business center. Its construction was part of a wave of office tower growth that reshaped the downtown area during the 1980s.
The building shows the architectural style of the 1980s with its geometric forms and commercial design that shaped Dallas' downtown landscape. The structure reflects how office towers were built to serve the city's growing business needs during that decade.
The tower sits at a major intersection with easy access to public transportation and walking distance from other downtown offices. Finding the location is straightforward since it occupies a central position within the business district with multiple street approaches.
Pacific Place stands on the site of the 1921 Melba Theatre, one of the theaters of Elm Street's Theater Row, and an adjacent parking structure. Its narrow lot produced recessed courtyard entrances on both Elm Street and Pacific Avenue, and the angled facade let light reach the neighboring Corrigan Tower. The building reopened for leasing in April 2012 after Boxer Property bought it in 2010 for $5.3 million.
