110 Plaza

110 Plaza is an 18-story office tower with a distinctive bronze plate-glass facade located in downtown San Diego's Civic Core. The building contains office space for multiple organizations and serves as a notable feature of the city's skyline.

The building opened in September 1971 after a rapid construction period that took less than a year to complete. This swift development reflected the post-war economic growth that transformed downtown San Diego's business district.

The executive dining room served specialized dishes such as Green Turtle Soup and Frog Legs Sauté to bank executives and their guests.

The building stands at West A Street in downtown San Diego and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors can view the exterior facade and lobby area, though access to office floors is typically limited to building occupants.

The structure incorporates granite sourced from Quebec that was shipped to Italy for processing before being flown to California. This unconventional international construction supply chain reflects the ambitious building practices of the 1970s.
