Pacific Plaza has set a new benchmark for achievement for office and retail properties in Downtown Tacoma. The award-winning LEED Platinum 250,000 square-foot renovation and addition was made feasible with a pioneering long-span steel floor system. Smart Beams ™ spanning 60 feet for the first time in an office floor application, along with a central concrete core and unique concrete skin to remediate serious seismic deficiencies, allowed a parking level, two office levels and a green roof to be added on top of an aging five-story, 400-car parking garage. The “2010 NAIOP National Sustainable Development of the Year” is home for the Tacoma office of PCS Structural Solutions.
