One America Plaza is the tallest building in San Diego, California and a prominent fixture in the waterfront district of the downtown San Diego skyline. The 34-story, 500 ft (150 m), 623,000 sq ft (57,900 m2), obelisk-shaped tower was designed by Helmut Jahn of Murphy/Jahn Architects and KMA Architecture. The top of the building bears a striking resemblance to the end of a Phillips-head screwdriver and has a similar appearance to Two Liberty Place in Philadelphia also designed by Jahn, which is a year older.[5][6][7] The building's height is the maximum height for a building in downtown San Diego due to its proximity to Lindbergh Field, the city's primary airport.[7]
One America Plaza is currently owned by its developer, The Irvine Company.
The America Plaza trolley station is located on the ground floor of the building between the main building and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
