Located four blocks from the San Francisco Bay, The Avery is designed to be an important anchor along the eastern end of Folsom Street. Comprised of a 618-foot tower, OMA’s design for The Avery defines a residential development with an urban gesture.
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. At the west side of the site, a 56-story residential tower combines condominiums, market rate apartments and affordable housing with various shared amenity spaces. The same urban gesture that creates the lane translates vertically up the lower half of the tower.
