Millennium office open now

December 10, 2007

Millennium Partners, the developer of the ultra-luxurious high-rise Millennium Tower, currently under construction at 301 Mission Street in San Francisco, has announced the opening of its sales office and introduced its sales team. Millennium Tower will offer 419 residences that represent the ultimate in high-end urban living.

The sales office is led by a trio of sales executives noted for sales and management of San Francisco’s most distinguished high-rise residential real estate, including the Four Seasons Residences and the St. Regis Residences. With their combined five decades of experience, the sales team offers unmatched market acumen and incomparable service for the most discerning clientele.

“This is our ‘dream team’ — the most talented team of sales executives Millennium Partners has ever assembled,” said Richard G. Baumert, Managing Director for Millennium Partners. “From the first walk-through to move-in day, our team will deliver exceptional service for our residents — the real estate equivalent of a five-star concierge.”

The sales team will be led by Diana Nelson, who brings 30 years of concierge, management and sales experience at San Francisco’s finest hotels and luxury condominiums. For most of the past decade, Nelson has led the sales efforts at the Four Seasons Residences, San Francisco’s distinct, service-rich luxury condominiums atop the Four Seasons Hotel, with sales of more than $400 million. Prior to Four Seasons, Nelson was chief concierge at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco, where she consistently earned top awards and honors for her achievements and professionalism. She was named Where Magazine’s Concierge of the Year and the Grand Hyatt’s Employee of the Year and Manager of the Year — the only Hyatt employee in the country to achieve both honors.

Nelson is joined by Bryant Kowalczyk, who was an integral part of the sales effort at the St. Regis Residences, the 102 exclusive condominiums at San Francisco’s new St. Regis Hotel. Kowalczyk brings more than a decade of experience in real estate sales in San Francisco’s burgeoning South of Market area, contributing to the successful launches of several of the area’s new residential buildings, from luxury condominiums to live/work lofts.

The team will be rounded out by Jennifer Xu Iles, a San Francisco broker with 8 years of experience selling residential real estate throughout the Bay Area. Most recently, Xu Iles was the top producer with The Mark Company, one of the country’s foremost luxury condominium sales and marketing companies and the sales and marketing agent for many of the most significant high-rise residential developments in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

“Millennium Tower will set a new standard for luxury urban living in San Francisco,” said Nelson. “Extraordinary elegance of design — both inside and out — combined with impeccable service and a rich menu of amenities will attract buyers looking for the very best that San Francisco has to offer in urban living.”

Over the past decade, Millennium Partners has created several of San Francisco’s highest profile developments, including Four Seasons Hotel & Residences, the Metreon urban entertainment complex, and the recently opened Yerba Buena Lane, a charming retail enclave linking the Union Square shopping area with South of Market’s active arts and museum district.

Visually striking for its graceful elegance of design and distinctive blue glass curtain wall, Millennium Tower will be the tallest luxury residential property in San Francisco, the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi, and the fourth-tallest structure on the San Francisco skyline.

Designed by acclaimed architect Glenn Rescalvo of Handel Architects, the 645-foot, 60-story luxury residential tower and an adjacent 11-story mid-rise building will comprise a total of 419 residences, including 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 2-bedroom + library, 3-bedroom and penthouse residences, ranging in size from approximately 750 square feet to 6,000 square feet. Each of the three residential components — Residences at Millennium Tower, City Residences at Millennium Tower and Grand Residences at Millennium Tower — will have its own separate and distinct entry and lobby as well as its own dedicated staff.

Plans also call for 7,800 square feet of sidewalk-level space devoted to two retail occupants, including rn74, an upscale restaurant operated by acclaimed chef Michael Mina.

Every detail of the residence interiors has been designed with meticulous attention to detail. From the living spaces and kitchens to the bedrooms and baths, only furnishings and finishes of the highest quality will be used. Resident services include a private concierge and exclusive access to the 20,000-square-foot Club Level, featuring an owners’ lounge, tasting room and cellar, private dining room (serviced by the onsite restaurant by Michael Mina), screening room, children’s playroom, outdoor terrace, and a 5,500-square-foot fitness center complete with Pilates and yoga studios, massage therapy, locker rooms, Jacuzzi and steam rooms as well as a 75-foot, indoor, competition-length lap pool set beneath a soaring skylight.
