1972 – Transamerica Building, San Francisco, California
Architect: William L. Pereira & Associates
The Transamerica Pyramid is located in the heart of the Montgomery Financial District at 600 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, California. It is a part of Transamerica Center (a complex that includes Two Transamerica Center and Transamerica Redwood Park) and encompasses nearly one city block. The Transamerica Pyramid building and logos featuring it are registered trademarks of Transamerica Corporation.
