I'm not sure it's current name, but when built in the early 1980's it was One Pacific Square. Originally planned as the shortest of four identically shaped buildings, the tallest was to be 26 floors, that together with the existing NW Natural Gas block and another block, would have covered a total of 5 1/2 blocks. The graphics of the time didn't compare with today, but the model of those buildings superimposed on a photo of downtown looked sooooo cool. Like a little space city unto itself. In the end it's better that we didn't end up with it, but for the time, and in my teen years, I thought the proposal the most exciting thing the city had ever seen. Remember, that was 1980 or so.
