The land on which 1700 Pacific sits was once two triangular blocks separated by Live Oak Street. In 1977, one of the triangular blocks was purchased by Dallas Transit Board for a major transit interchange on a proposed underground transit system.[2]
The architect for the Tower was WZMH Architects. Berkeley First City L.P. first owned the building while Jones Lang LaSalle leased the building.[3] In 2008, Jones Lang LaSalle announced that a 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) fitness center named "Elevation" would move into 1700 Pacific.[3] In 2011, the building was renovated.[1]
By August 2013, Dallas Business Journal listed the fitness center among the building's facilities. The newspaper also reported that the building was put up for sale.[4] In July 2014, it was bought by Canada-based Olymbec at an undisclosed price.[5]
