Transamerica Tower, Modern skyscraper in Inner Harbor, Baltimore, United States
The Transamerica Tower rises 161 meters with 40 floors, featuring a steel frame structure and masonry facade at 100 Light Street.
Completed in 1973, this building marked the first corporate high-rise development in Baltimore's Inner Harbor renewal district.
The tower represents the transformation of Baltimore's commercial district, with its design setting standards for subsequent downtown construction.
The building contains 587,000 square feet of office space and incorporates four exterior columns at the corners to maximize interior floor plans.
The structure employs a transfer girder system above the lobby level that eliminates the need for interior support columns at the base.
