LUMINA, also known as 201 Folsom Street, is a 655-unit residential condominium project in the Rincon Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. Developed by Tishman Speyer, it is located one block to the southwest of its sister project, The Infinity. [7]

History

The project was originally approved in September 2003 concurrently with its sister project, The Infinity. [8] Tishman Speyer developed The Infinity first, completing it in 2009. Meanwhile, 201 Folsom Street was left unbuilt, and with its permits set to expire, Tishman Speyer was granted a three-year extension in 2009. After being redesigned by Arquitectonica, another 12-month extension was granted in 2012. [5] [9]

In February 2013, Tishman Speyer announced that it had formed a joint venture with China Vanke to develop 201 Folsom Street. [6] According to Reuters, China Vanke agreed to contribute $175 million for a 70% stake, and Tishman Speyer $75 million for a 30% stake. The remainder of the project's $620 million cost was to be financed with debt. [10] Tishman Speyer received its building permits in May 2013 [11] and construction commenced in June. [12]

201 Folsom I, located at the corner of Folsom and Beale, stands 400 feet (120 m) and 42 stories tall. [8] 201 Folsom II, located along Main Street, stands 350 feet (110 m) and 37 stories tall. [8] Ceremonial groundbreaking took place on June 26, 2013, and the project was named LUMINA. [13] Construction was expected to take about 23 months. [13] Residents began moving into the complex in August 2015. [14]
