Pacific Gas & Electric Building, Office skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, US

The Pacific Gas & Electric Building is a 150 m (490 ft) steel-frame office tower of 34 floors at 77 Beale Street in San Francisco's Financial District, completed in 1971 and designed by Hertzka & Knowles. Its light gray or beige stone-colored facade is covered on the narrow front and wider right side by a dense grid of identical dark, recessed rectangular windows in closely spaced vertical and horizontal rows. The flat roof is not visible from street level.

Completed in 1971, the 34-storey tower was designed by Hertzka & Knowles and built as the headquarters of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the main utility for Northern California. In June 2020 PG&E announced a phased move of its headquarters to the Kaiser Center in Oakland, starting in 2022 and finishing by 2026. In May 2021 Hines agreed to buy the building for US$800 million and proposed re-addressing it as 200 Mission Street.

This building sits prominently in the Financial District and has served as a major corporate headquarters for decades, shaping how people think about San Francisco's business landscape. Its presence on the skyline connects the city's energy industry to its modern urban identity.

The tower occupies the block bounded by Beale and Mission Streets, a short walk from the Embarcadero BART and Muni station and the Ferry Building. It is a working office building, so interior floors are not open to visitors; the facade and its window grid are seen from the sidewalk. Hines proposed in 2025 to replace it with a taller tower, so the block may change.

Since 1987 a pair of peregrine falcons has nested on the building and made it their permanent home. These birds are an unexpected part of urban wildlife in the middle of the business district and attract the attention of bird watchers.
