ANCHORAGE, Alaska A building in Anchorage that once housed a Key Bank office is undergoing a $41 million renovation inspired by Alaska’s glaciers.
The project developer said the former Key Bank Plaza will be modernized and draped in glass instead of concrete, with an inward-sloping façade above the entrance, the Anchorage Daily News reported Sunday.
The nine-floor building that has stood for 50 years was battered and left vacant by the 2018 Anchorage earthquake.
Developer Derrick Chang said the building’s entrance will “look like an ice cave, so you create an Arctic phenomenon.”

Alaska wildcatter Jim White dies: fierce property rights defender

James (Jim) Wynn White, independent oilman and Alaskan wildcatter, died Jan. 22 in Houston, Texas, at the age of 90. White was owner of Alaskan Crude Corp.
White moved his family to Kenai, Alaska, in 1968, working first for Unocal at its new fertilizer plant in Nikiski, before setting out into various business ventures in the Kenai area.
In the mid-1970s, White opened Copper Valley Machine Works, a machine shop in Glennallen, to serve the construction of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, according to his son and fellow oilman, James A. White.
Print article Even the main players in a new, business-leaning COVID-19 nonprofit admit it seems like a strange time to form a group with a mission centered on staying safe during the coronavirus pandemic. Two vaccines just got rolled out. Alaska’s daily case counts have dropped to lows not seen since October. Hospitalizations of people with COVID-19 are down. That’s just why the Conquer COVID Coalition is important now, says Jared Kosin, who heads up a statewide hospital association and serves as a co-chair of the new group. “This is a critical point in the pandemic. We all, for the first time, have a sense of hope,” Kosin said Tuesday, the same day Anchorage officials announced that the city would relax some pandemic restrictions on businesses starting Friday. “It’s really easy to become complacent right now because it doesn’t feel like COVID is as scary, it doesn’t feel as threatening.”
