PacWest Center

PacWest Center is a glass-clad office tower in downtown Portland featuring 30 stories and a metallic exterior. The structure rises prominently along the city's financial district with its reflective surface and clean lines.

Completed in 1984, the tower emerged during Portland's economic expansion and became a landmark of that era's financial growth. The building reflected architectural trends that shaped downtown's development through the following decades.

The building's name reflects its initial connection to Pacific Western Bank of Oregon, representing the financial sector's growth in Portland during the 1980s.

The building sits prominently along downtown streets and is easily viewed from various angles around the financial district. Visitors can appreciate its design from nearby sidewalks and public areas throughout the area.

The tower's aluminum cladding incorporates materials sourced internationally, giving its surface a distinctive quality compared to other local high-rises. This choice of materials reflects the building's commitment to architectural precision.
