The U.S. Bancorp Tower (also known as "Big Pink") is a 42-story, 163.38 m skyscraper in Portland, Oregon. It is the second tallest building in the city after Wells Fargo Center, and with its nearly 69000 m2 office space, it is the largest in Oregon in terms of volume.[5]
History
Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) with Pietro Belluschi as the consultant, the tower cost $60 million to construct. Ground was broken on May 29, 1981,[6] and the building was largely completed in June 1983.[7] It was dedicated on December 1, 1983.[8] The tower adjoins U.S. Bank Plaza at 555 SW Oak Street, a 7-story, 497800 sqft building constructed in 1974.[9]
