Clorox Building

The Clorox Building is a modern skyscraper in downtown Oakland with a contemporary glass and steel structure spanning 24 floors. Its clean geometric form rises prominently in the business district and houses office spaces for various companies.

Renowned architect César Pelli designed this building in collaboration with Gruen Associates, with completion in 1976. The project emerged during a period when Oakland's downtown was undergoing major modernization and renewal.

The building marks the era when Oakland grew into a major business hub, reflecting corporate development that reshaped the city during the 1970s. It remains part of the downtown landscape that visitors experience when walking through the area today.

The building is located at a central address in the business district with underground parking available for visitors and employees. Its position makes it easily accessible by public transit and offers convenient access to the surrounding business area.

The facade features geometric patterns that shift in appearance throughout the day as sunlight reflects across the surface. These visual effects mean the building looks different depending on when you walk past it and the angle of the light.
