History
Originally "Idaho First Plaza,"[7][1] the building was the headquarters of the Idaho First National Bank, which was founded in 1867.[8] Built by EmKay Development and Realty Company,[6] a wholly owned subsidiary of Boise-based Morrison-Knudsen,[9] it opened in September 1978.[10]
Following acquisitions in neighboring states, IFNB changed its name to West One Bank in 1989,[11][12] and was acquired by U.S. Bank of Portland in 1995.[13][14][15]
In 2000, the building was purchased by the property development firm Unico.[16]
The building does not have a 13th floor.[17] It is home to an annual Christmas tree display atop its roof that adds 85 feet (26 m) to the building's height; due to the extended height, the Federal Aviation Administration requires it to remain lit with safety beacons. The U.S. Bank Building was the tallest structure in Idaho until a new air traffic control tower at Boise Airport surpassed it in 2010.[18]
The office tower was bought on $37 million loan in 2013 by Salt Lake City based Gardner Company, which developed nearby Eighth & Main.[19] It was then sold at an undisclosed price to Seattle based Laird Norton in 2019.[20]
