US Bancorp Tower ('Big Pink')

Completed in 1983, US Bancorp Tower is notable for its pink granite-clad facade and is one of Portland's tallest skyscrapers, earning the local nickname 'Big Pink.' The 42-story office tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and is a prominent feature of the downtown skyline. Its exterior color and massing make it one of the city's most visually distinctive modern buildings.
