Transamerica-Pyramid-San-Francisco



  • Transamerica wanted a taller building (1,150 feet/350.5m) but the city planning commission would not approve it because it interfered with precious views of San Francisco Bay from Nob Hill.
  • Excavation depth is 52 ft.
  • Excavation commenced in December 1969, with the first steel placed in November 1970.
