Rudolph and Sletten, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tutor Perini
Corporation (NYSE: TPC), announced today the completion of the Bank of
the West Tower at 500 Capitol Mall in Sacramento, California. The Ed
Kado-designed, 25-story, high-rise in the heart of Sacramento's
business district provides 433,000 square-feet 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,"said Angelo G. Tsakopoulos, Managing Partner of 500 Capitol
Mall Tower LLC. "The quality of construction is excellent and has
received nothing but praise from those involved in the project and from
public onlookers, as well."
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 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.
