==History== [[File:Night view, downtown section, Dallas, Texas ppmsca09600u.jpg|thumb|Theater Row on Elm Street, January 1942. Pacific Place now stands where the Melba Theater was located]]
Pacific Place, constructed of steel, masonry and purple reflective glass, opened in 1982 as a multi-tenant office tower. It was constructed on the site of the historic 1921 Melba Theatre, one of several theaters along Elm Street's Theater Row, and an adjacent parking structure.<ref>http://cinematreasures.org/theater/7012/"Melba {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100512174806/http://cinematreasures.org/theater/7012/ |date=12 May 2010 }} Theatre." Cinema Treasures</ref> Its narrow building site resulted in recessed courtyard entrances on both Elm Street and Pacific Avenue, while the angled facade provided multiple corner offices and allowed light to reach the neighboring [[Corrigan Tower]]. The second level of the building was connected via [[skywalk]] to the [[Dallas Pedestrian Network]], providing access to parking and retail facilities.
The building suffered high vacancy rates due to the economic recession of the 2000s. By 2008, the doors were closed, although the building's public spaces were still well-maintained. Several proposals were developed, including a study to converted the building into 198 residential units.<ref>http://www.loopnet.com/xNet/Mainsite/Listing/Profile/Profile.aspx?LID=15877868&Sourcecode=1lif0c021a00000 LoopNet Listing</ref> The building sold in April 2010 to Boxer Property for $5.3 million.<ref>BROWN, STEVE.
