Pacific Building at 600 16th Street is a five-story rectangular building constructed in 1913 by Woodmen of the World. It was built with Renaissance Baroque ornamentation, initially designed for ground-floor storefronts, upper-floor offices, and lodge rooms, with the lodge rooms later converted to offices. Construction is steel frame on the lower three floors with reinforced concrete columns on the upper two floors and brick curtain walls on all floors. The property is secured through a key code and dial-in entry, 40 on-site parking spaces, and on-site storage in the basement. Recent renovations to the common areas preserved most of the historically significant interior woodwork and hallways.
One Block from City Center, the Pacific Center is centrally located in Downtown Oakland within a minute's reach of City Hall, Court House, and Planning Department. The office building is close to Lake Merritt, two miles away. Four blocks from 12th St BART Station, Steps to City Center, and easy access to freeways and AC Transit Lines make this a perfect location for commuters. It is located between Uptown and Downtown Oakland, in the Bay Area's core, making the Pacific Building a great business destination.
