The Transamerica Pyramid is an iconic skyscraper located in the Financial District of San Francisco, California. Completed in 1972, this distinctive building was designed by architect William Pereira and stands at 853 feet tall with 48 floors. Its unique pyramid shape, which tapers as it rises, was intended to allow more natural light to reach the streets below. The building is clad in white precast quartz aggregate, giving it a bright, clean appearance.
