Overview

One of the tallest buildings on the west coast, Aon Center is an iconic building in a city full of icons. Its black glass sides are interrupted only by the white stone of the chamfers extending from the ground 62 stories up to the roof. At the top, a margin of matching stone marks the end of this building's ascent into the sky while providing a place for a little corporate branding. Or a lot of corporate branding.

One of the more tragic events in downtown's high rise community happened at this building. In 1988 a fire broke out on the 12th floor of this tower. At the time, fire sprinklers were being installed in the building, but they weren't working yet. One person died and dozens were hurt.

  • July 12, 2010- Aon has agreed to buy Hewitt Associates for $4.9 billion.
