Transamerica Pyramid
The Transamerica Pyramid at 600 Montgomery Street between
Clay and Washington Streets in the Financial District of San Fran-
cisco, California, United States, is a 48-story postmodern building
and the second-tallest skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline. Its
height will be surpassed by Salesforce Tower, currently under con-
struction. The building no longer houses the headquarters of the
Transamerica Corporation, which moved its U.S. headquarters to
Baltimore, Maryland, but it is still associated with the company and
is depicted in the company’s logo. Designed by architect William
Pereira and built by Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company,
at 853 feet (260 m), on completion in 1972 it was the eighth-tallest
building in the world.
