Splitting the podium in two, the lane activates the building’s base with an urban living room lined with retail amenities, lush green walls and landscaping to provide a respite for the neighborhood.Īt the west side of the site, a 56-story residential tower combines condominiums, market rate apartments and affordable housing with various shared amenity spaces. While residential towers are typically closed off from the life of the city around them, The Avery opens the site to the public by introducing a new lane connecting Folsom Street―the neighborhood’s main boulevard-with Clementina―an intimate pedestrian corridor. The building is shaped to weave together multiple scales and optimize views out to the city and Bay,” continued Shohei Shigematsu, Partner at OMA “We are thrilled to be completing our first tower on the West Coast. Our building is located at the neighborhood’s center, so we wanted the site to be both a connector and a destination” said Jason Long, Partner at OMA. “Transbay is changing into a place where San Francisco’s future is developing. Comprised of a 576-foot tower and two podium buildings, OMA’s masterplan for The Avery defines a residential development with an urban gesture. Located four blocks from the San Francisco Bay, The Avery will be an important anchor along the eastern end of Folsom Street. “With its world-class architecture, meticulously designed residences, unparalleled amenities, and Related’s signature service, The Avery embodies the City’s next influential chapter – bringing together its residents and community and establishing a new standard for luxury living in San Francisco.” ![]() “Today marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the opening of The Avery and the debut of our Jay Jeffers designed penthouse,” said Gino Canori, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Related California.

Related California, the West Coast affiliate of the nation’s largest privately-owned real estate firm, Related Companies, announces today the completion of the penthouse and amenities of its highly anticipated residential high-rise, The Avery. ![]() The Avery marks the second of three residential developments across North America to be completed this year, followed by 121 E 22nd Street, OMA’s first residential tower in New York City.
