The transformation of the newly-designated Transamerica Tower continued today with the first installation of the new Transamerica signage atop the waterfront landmark building at 100 Light Street.  As the company announced in September, AEGON’s operations in North America are coming together under the well-known Transamerica brand.  In Baltimore, these operations include Monumental Life and AEGON Direct Marketing Services, currently located on Chase Street and Park Avenue respectively. Approximately 800 employees will begin moving to the new offices over the next couple of months.
