Three-quarters of its 145 units were sold before Senator Mark Hatfield ceremoniously broke ground on the project with a 100-year-old pickax in 1972.

When complete in December 1999, the 22-story building will have floor-to-ceiling windows of silver blue-gray glass in place of its concrete facade and aggregate panels.
