One California is a skyscraper in San Francisco, California. The building rises 438 feet (134 meters) in the northern region of San Francisco’s Financial District. It contains 32 floors, and was completed in 1969. One California currently stands as the 28th-tallest building in the city. The architect who designed the building was Welton Becket Associates. The building was constructed on the site of the previously demolished Fife Building, and was one of the earliest skyscrapers constructed in the city. One California was one of three buildings, the other two being 555 California Street and the Crocker Building, that was featured in a 1970 Newsweek article widely thought to have coined the term "Manhattanization".
