Facts
Oregon's tallest building since 1972. |
Due to public outcry over the tower's heigth and the potential development of newer and taller buildings, Portland created a height restrictions on all new and future developments after the tower's opening. |
A skybridge connects the tower to the adjacent four-story building. |
The marble on the base is 1/16th inch thick. |
Wells Fargo Center was originally known as the First National Bank Tower, and then First Interstate Bank Tower. |
The building features 60,000 square feet of Italian Appenine mountains marble. |
Neither the side of Columbia Street or Jefferson Street has an adequate pedestrian sidewalks. |
In order for the chillers to be replaced, during the 2001 upgrade, a lift-crane was constructed on top of the building. |
The 30 year old Trane chillers, at that time, were replaced by DuPont Engineering, Jacobs Facilities, Inc., Interstate Mechanical, and TraneOregon in 2001. |
The building was the main headquarters of Willamette Industries before it was bought out by Weyerhaeuser in 2002. |
The Tower Restaurant, on the 21st floor, was closed in May 2002. |
In 1999, Wells Fargo occupied as much as 40 percent of the Class A commercial property. |
First National Bank Tower was dedicated on May 25, 1972. |
The First Interstate Tower was renamed the Wells Fargo Center in 1997. |
The top corners are lit in green and red alternately during winter holidays. |
