Coming soon: a chance to own a home in a distinct setting
on a naturally formed island in the heart of San Francisco
Bay, complete with panoramic views, wellness.minded
amenities, and 72 acres of preserved space rife with parks,
beaches, and hiking and biking trails—all just 10 minutes
from downtown. When completed in 2021, Yerba Buena
Island will feature 266 luxury condos, flats and townhomes (with e Agency Development Group starting sales in early 2020). Residents of
the project—developed by Wilson Meany and Stockbridge Capital Group—also will be privy to e Island Club, which includes a lounge,
dining room, bar, game room, spa, sauna, massage room, fitness studio and outdoor lap pool. Says Chris Meany, Wilson Meany's co.founder and
managing partner: "We've enlisted a world.class team to create a place that celebrates the hallmarks of what drew people to San Francisco in the
first place—a modern spirit, creative culture, laid.back atmosphere and surrounding natural beauty." .W.B.
Waikiki's former Hotel Renew has been undergoing a multimillion.dollar redesign and rebranding led by
Honolulu's e Vanguard eory and will debut as OLS Hotels and Resort's new 72.room Renew retreat in
July 2019, complete with a focus centered around holistic offerings. Expect the property to feature amenities
and activities designed to connect guests to local wellness, fitness and beauty partners, including social and
environmental experiences from bicycle tours to reviving a historic fish pond, astrology readings, beach yoga,
aromatherapy crystals to enhance sleep and much more. Also new: revamped guest rooms, corridors, lobby
and lobby bar set amid an inviting yet chic mid.century minimalist meets tropical modern design boasting
a palette of sandy neutrals, terra.cotta and pops of black. "Renew has been reimagined as an intimate retreat
for those seeking a deeper connection to Hawai'i beyond its traditional tourist spots," says General Manager
omas Harris. "We look forward to providing our guests with meaningful and memorable stays." .W.B.
