Rainier Tower is a 41-story, 156.67 m skyscraper in the Metropolitan Tract of Seattle, Washington. Construction of the building was completed in 1977. Standing ?not unlike a rectangular pencil driven into the ground,? the Rainier Tower, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, provides downtown Seattle with 29 floors of office space above an 11-story concrete pedestal. The tapered concrete base provided the square?s developer (UNICO) with more square footage to construct a three-story, L-shaped retail complex as part of the overall Rainier Square complex, and it offered ground-level openness in downtown Seattle at a time when most skyscrapers occupied a much larger footprint.

Rising from an 11-story concrete pedestal, Rainier Tower is one of Seattle?s most recognizable structures
