Standing {{convert|404|ft|abbr=on}}, the tower is the tallest skyscraper in the city and the entire Bay Area outside of San Francisco.

The Ordway Building's main tenant is Kaiser Permanente, which has used the building as its national headquarters since completion in 1970. As of 2009, Kaiser was leasing space on 21 floors. Kaiser announced on August 6, 2009 that it had signed a new nine-year lease with landlord CIM Group.{{cite news | author=Chris Rauber and Blanca Torres | title=Kaiser Permanente signs 9-year Oakland HQ lease | url=http://sanfrancisco.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2009/08/03/daily99.html | work=The San Francisco Business Times | date=6 August 2009 | accessdate=1 September 2010}}
