Originally the Orbanco Headquarters Building.
On June 4, 2002 the building's name changed from 1001 Fifth to Congress Center.
The building does not have a 13th floor.
The HVAC system consists of a double duct variable air volume system with electrical resistance heat and two chillers.
The 2-story lobbies feature granite walls with 2-story glass trim, limestone floors, and Anigre wood walls.
The 2001 renovation included the first two floors and other common areas.
A typical floor plate is approximately 16,000 square-feet.
The building is hexagonal in shape, clad in charcoal gray reflective glass with Spanish pink granite at the base.
The Portland Historical Landmark Commission gave a Certificate of Merit to the building for replicating the historic arches of the former hotel.
The name of the building was taken from the Congress Hotel, which sat on this site until the late 1970s.
The building occupies a full city block.
