U.S. Bank Tower, Sacramento
U.S. Bank Tower stands as a prominent architectural landmark in Sacramento. Completed in early 2008, this 25-story building rises to a height of 404 feet (123 meters), making it the second tallest structure in the city. The tower's construction was managed by Hensel Phelps Construction with design by the renowned architectural firm Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Inc.
The tower is strategically located just three blocks from the State Capitol, placing it near many governmental agencies. It encompasses 676,500 square feet of space, which includes 17 floors dedicated to Class A office space, ground-floor restaurant and retail facilities, and an 813-stall parking garage. A notable feature is its grand seven-level open atrium main lobby that offers expansive views of Capitol Mall, enhanced by the building’s modern aluminum and glass façade.
One of the building's distinguishing artistic features is its LED screen installation on the top floors, designed by artist Michael Hayden of Santa Rosa, California. This installation projects an image of a flowing river or waterway, with colors transitioning between shades of blue and purple, adding a dynamic visual element to the city’s skyline at night. This exterior installation complements another of Hayden's works located in the lobby of the building, emphasizing the artistic unity of the structure.
U.S. Bank, having acquired the naming rights and occupying 34,000 square feet of the building, lends its name to this striking addition to Sacramento's architectural portfolio. The U.S. Bank Tower not only serves as a hub for business and commerce but also contributes significantly to the cityscape with its unique blend of functional design and artistic embellishment.
