About the Building
This building is 107 m (351 ft) (about 351 feet) tall. It has 23 floors. The style of the building is called postmodern. This means it uses ideas from older building styles but in new and surprising ways. The building is found between Kearny Street and California Street.
The Corporate Goddesses Statues
One of the most interesting things about 580 California Street is what's on top. There are three large statues on each side of the building's 23rd floor. These statues are 12-foot (3.7 m) (about 3.6 meters) tall. They are called "The Corporate Goddesses."
These unique sculptures were created by an artist named Muriel Castanis. She was the designer behind these faceless figures. They add a special artistic touch to the top of the building.
