Café Aims to Draw People to Apartments

SAN FRANCISCO—In an update to a previous article, The Grove, a popular local café, has signed a long-term lease for a corner location within Equity Residential‘s One Henry Adams. The 241-residence apartment community with 8,600 square feet of retail is located on Townsend Circle in Showplace Square. This is Equity Residential’s first retail tenant, which will be a resident and pedestrian magnet for the apartment community. The Grove is scheduled to open upon completion of One Henry Adams in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Jim Kelly, first vice president of development with Equity Residential, tells GlobeSt.com: “We couldn’t be more excited to have The Grove be our first retail tenant at One Henry Adams. In addition to attracting other like-minded local retailers and being a wonderful amenity for our residents, The Grove’s decision to come here highlights Equity Residential’s efforts to create a residential community that is true to its neighborhood; from the distinctive architecture, to the landscaping, to the amenity and retail mix, One Henry Adams will be a reflection of its surroundings, blending in seamlessly to this bourgeoning neighborhood.”
