Tsakopoulos Investments, Bank of the West Tower

The Ed Kado-designed, 25-story, Bank of the West Tower at 500 Capitol Mall in the heart of Sacramento’s business district provides 433,000 square-foot of “Class A” office space with panoramic views of the Sierras, the Sacramento River, Sacramento’s skyline and the Capitol Rotunda.

At 396 feet, the building is the third tallest in the State’s capital.

Developed by Tsakopoulos Investments, the building offers a full range of amenities to attract elite cliental seeking a superior business environment. The Bank of the West Tower at 500 Capitol Mall offers on-site building management, 24-hour security, a state-of–the-art fitness center with showers and locker facilities, cable-ready access, legislative audio access, an overnight express center, a planned restaurant, and an 800-stall parking garage.

"We wanted a dramatic building where quality is built into every aspect. The quality of construction is excellent and has received nothing but praise from those involved in the project and from public onlookers, as well." -Angelo G. Tsakopoulos

The building capitalizes on numerous quality features from the highly-polished Brazilian granite floors in the lobby to the cherry wood accents and solid-core suite doors used throughout the interior. Marble and stone finishes were hand-picked by the developer at its fabricator in Montignoso, Italy. The granite goes all the way to the top rather than switching to a cheaper material higher up where it wouldn’t be notice by people passing by. The exterior of the garage is disguised as a building with windows. Most of the floors offer 22,000 to 23,000 square feet. The large floors allow tenants that might have needed two floors in a more narrow building to fit into a single floor.

The building contains a number of energy-saving features such as the dual-paned, high-performance glass that reduces heat gain and an elevator system that reduces energy usage by up to 50 percent compared to conventional elevators.

“Working on this building was a dream job for us at Rudolph and Sletten,” said Dan Dolinar, Senior Vice President at Rudolph and Sletten. “We thrive on projects that demand quality, while seeking to reduce costs and improve efficiency through energy saving methods.”

Sacramento’s second-largest law firm, McDonough Holland & Allen, PC, was the first tenant, signing a lease to occupy space on the 17th through 19th floors. Other law firms relocating to the building include Hanson Bridgett LLP, Somach Simmons & Dunn, and Stoel Rives LLP.

In addition to a bank branch on the ground floor, Bank of the West will have offices on the 11th and 12th floors.
