PacWest Center, Portland

PacWest Center is a 30-story office skyscraper in Portland. It is the fourth-tallest building in Portland and the fourth largest. The building was completed in 1984. PacWest Center was formally dedicated on November 1, 1984. The building's name is derived from former anchor tenant, Pacific Western Bank of Oregon. In 1985, the building's design won its architects the year's top "honor award" from the Portland chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The building's lobby was remodeled in 2002. The modern, metallic look of the building comes from the use of aluminum panels imported from Japan.
