Standard Plaza, High-rise building in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Standard Plaza features 16 floors within its modern architectural design, reaching a height of 222 feet in Portland's central business district.

Construction of Standard Plaza began in March 1961 with a budget of 6.4 million dollars, facing delays due to labor strikes before completion in 1963.

The International Style building, designed by Skidmore Owings Merrill, represents the architectural evolution of Portland during the mid-twentieth century urban development.

Located between Southwest Fifth and Sixth avenues at Main and Madison streets, Standard Plaza includes a parking facility for 265 vehicles.

The building displays a 50-foot weather beacon on its roof, which security personnel update twice daily based on National Weather Service forecasts.
