First National Bank Center

First National Bank Center is a 27-story office tower in downtown San Diego built with steel and glass construction. The building features a six-story interior atrium at ground level that brings natural light into the main entrance area.

The tower was completed in 1982 as part of San Diego's commercial expansion during the early 1980s economic growth period. Its construction reflected the growing development of the downtown financial district at that time.

The building demonstrates the architectural evolution of San Diego's financial district through its modern design and incorporation of functional office spaces.

The building is located in the heart of the downtown office district and is easily accessible by foot from the surrounding streets. The large atrium entrance provides clear navigation and good accessibility for visitors moving through the space.

The tower earned Energy Star certification in 2004, highlighting its energy-efficient design among large commercial buildings. This recognition marks it as a building designed with operational efficiency in mind.
