| Originally the [[Sohio]] Building until its [[corporate takeover|takeover]] by BP. This 324,000-square foot, class A office building was built from 1983 to 1985, sits on an 18 acre campus and includes a cafeteria and atrium. The building was phase one of the development which included enough land to be able to accommodate a second tower if the company’s Alaska operations ever required it. In addition, the building was designed to be converted into a hotel when and if the time came for such a transition. In summer of 2019, BP announced that it is ceasing its Alaska Operations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.adn.com/business-economy/2019/09/06/bp-is-leaving-alaska-so-whats-going-to-happen-to-its-big-office-building-in-midtown-anchorage/|title= BP is leaving Alaska.
