Costing $100 million,[1] One SeaGate was built as the centerpiece of the SeaGate project in downtown Toledo. Groundbreaking took place in May 1979, and was officially dedicated in June 1982. The building stands 432 feet (132 m) away from the Water Street riverfront. The tower is 411 feet (125 m) tall with 32 stories, with 29 floors of office space and two floors for maintenance. Each floor of the office tower has approximately 25,000 square feet (2,320 m2), with 707,000 square feet (65,700 m2) of total leasable space.[1] The building is made up of over 9,135 tons of steel, supported by 28 caissons, going 80 feet (24 m) down into the Earth, and over 36,000 cubic yards (28,000 m3) of concrete.[2] The exterior of the building is covered in 293,000 square feet (27,200 m2) of glass, with 4,400 vision panels and 4,200 spandrel units between floors, representing Toledo's history as the "Glass City," and O-I's presence in the glass industry.

A 294-seat auditorium is located in the tower complex, and the building itself is connected to the CitiWalk system. Underground, there is a mini-mall, SeaGate Shops at CitiWalk, that was left primarily vacant after the departure of O-I. The mini-mall has a small eatery area that leads to Promenade Park and Fountain Square, which features the Dimitri Hadzi sculpture, Propylaea. The underground tunnels also connect the building to the Wyndham Hotel (formerly Hotel Sofitel) at Two SeaGate, Four SeaGate (the home of Fox Toledo), and COSI Toledo. The top floor formerly included a fine restaurant that was frequented by business professionals. On the service level, there are loading docks for the convenience of tenants and the management of the building. The building is owned by One SeaGate LLC.
