A King County bond measure of 2000 paid for the construction of this new tower and the adjacent Maleng Building, as well as seismic retrofitting for the existing North Wing Trauma Center Tower. During the period 2000-2008, two existing buildings were slated for demolition.

This building was built as a partnership between King County and the private development company, Wright Runstad and Company. This arrangement is known as a "63-20," for the IRS tax code on which it is based. Private developers receive complex benfits to the building arrangement, and the county would take over the building in 26 years after all of the tax-exempt bonds have been paid off.
