IBM Building, Office building in Downtown Seattle, United States.
Located at 1200 Fifth Avenue, the IBM Building rises 20 stories with a height of 276 feet and contains 225,000 square feet of office space.
The building was constructed between 1963 and 1964 on the former site of the Seattle Ice Arena, which operated from 1915 until 1963.
Minoru Yamasaki designed this structure with 191 vertical fins around the crown, reflecting the architectural evolution of corporate buildings in the 1960s.
The building maintains its position as a commercial center in Seattle's Metropolitan Tract, providing office spaces for multiple organizations under Unico Properties management.
The structural design incorporates slender steel-pipe columns that create open interior spaces, a technique that Yamasaki later applied to the World Trade Center.
