KPMG Building (2002)
55 2nd Street
Architect: Heller Manus Associates

25-story, 379,000-square-foot office building in the south financial district area of downtown San Francisco. Built in 2002, the KPMG Building was designed by Heller Manus Architects, and is a distinctive element of the city's landscape, with a modern design including strong verticals, sconces near the building crown, and an eight-story pedestal set off with paired cornices.
 
ENERGY STAR certification for the KPMG Building is the result of an original building design that emphasized energy efficiency. For example, the building employs high-efficiency, double-pane windows, which help to reduce thermal gain in warm and sunny weather while reducing heat loss in the winter
