This new video reveals the extraordinary story of how the world’s foremost architects and engineers came together to craft one of the most resilient buildings in the world.See the vision and ingenious engineering that went into building this modern San Francisco landmark, which has received more commendations for its safety, design and seismic resilience than any other building in the US.
Of all the awards and recognition 181 Fremont has received, perhaps most significant is its distinction as the first building in the world to earn a REDi Gold Rating, a new beyond code benchmark for seismic construction.
“Resiliency to the industry means that the building will be resilient enough to function after an earthquake event,” explains Chris Wilcox, of Level 10 Construction, the general contractor of 181 Fremont. “And when you go to Gold standard resiliency, you’re taking it one step further and saying not only will it not topple down, but you’ll be able to occupy it quickly after.” Press play to see just how the team achieved this unprecedented level of resiliency by thinking outside the box, literally.

San Francisco’s most celebrated interior design firms, AubreyMaxwell and ODADA, have each transformed a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom corner residence at 181 Fremont into fully realized visions of exceptional taste. Wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows and set 580 feet above the city, new model residences 62A and 63A each feature sweeping bay and skyline views.
AubreyMaxwell, known for its eclectic, award-winning interiors, put its artful touch on Residence 62A and created a chic setting that is at once luxurious and inviting. The entire 1,914 square-foot residence is framed by walls of windows that line the home’s open dining and living rooms, which center around a suite of vibrant contemporary furniture. Thoughtfully positioned furniture maximizes each space, reinforcing a breezy, functional flow while preserving key site lines for the home’s one-of-a-kind art. Bedrooms feature built-in headboards, textural wallcoverings, sumptuous carpets, bronze-tinted mirror panels and decadent bedding that harmonize to create a sense of calm and comfort.
One floor up, the renowned team at ODADA—who contributed their design expertise to the interior spaces of 181 Fremont—has made Residence 63A an exquisite showstopper. The 1,882-square-foot residence’s sophisticated, airy feel is established in the gracious foyer and carries throughout the home. A mostly-white color palette, along with floors finished in pale smoked oak, creates a serene effect. ODADA has furnished the home with a selection of collectible furniture by notable designers, including Ettore Sottsass and Gianfranco Frattini. The home’s primary suite is a modern refuge with a clever, custom-designed twist: the sleeping area can be separated from the master bath by an automated sliding wall, which also conceals a sleek, mirrored Séura 55” television that can be swiveled to view in either the primary bedroom or bath.
Art plays a central role in the interiors of both residences. In Residence 62A, 181 Fremont’s art advisor Holly Baxter curated works that follow a landscape-centric theme and highlight the human form in nature. For Residence 63A, Baxter hand-selected a museum-quality collection of striking photography that perfectly balances the home’s neutral palette.
Each model home also features kitchens equipped with durable Brazilian White Macaubas quartzite countertops, custom Italian Valcucine kitchen cabinets and chef-grade Sub-Zero and Miele appliances as well as spa-like primary baths with soaking tubs, radiant-heated Lincoln marble floors and full-height slab Arabescato Corchia marble, sourced from an ancient quarry in Tuscany.
As with all 55 corner residences at 181 Fremont, Residence 62A and 63A offer residents exclusive access to 181 Fremont’s five-star concierge services, a full floor of amenities at the Residents’ Club and a 7th-level skybridge to Salesforce Park.

LX Collection, a leading online resource for top-tier luxury condominiums around the nation and abroad, has spotlighted 181 Fremont’s Grand Penthouse, the highest residence on the West Coast.
Titled “A Grand Penthouse Above the Rest,” the LX Collection article describes the residence as a “peerless condominium” that features “thoughtful design elements at every turn,” highlighting its “view-through fireplace with book-matched marble to its spacious dining room with wine display and tasting bar.” The residence is offered fully furnished with one-of-a-kind pieces from MASS Beverly, which has designed homes for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Elon Musk and Calvin Klein.
In the article, Mary Ta and Lars Hypko of MASS Beverly describe how it feels to arrive to the Grand Penthouse: “The entire residence is a luxury experience from the beginning, when you exit the elevator with a custom Lolli e Memmoli cut crystal chandelier to the custom glass encased office with sumptuous Bottega Veneta leather furniture.”

181 Fremont is proud to present the latest episode in its Legends Of Design series, which spotlights the best in interior design, art and craftsmanship within our award-winning building.
In this episode, David Oldroyd, Principal and owner of the award-winning San Francisco design firm ODADA, discusses the process, inspiration and unique challenges behind 181 Fremont’s bespoke interiors and sophisticated model residences. Moderating the interview is best-selling author, design lecturer and feature writer Diane Dorrans Saeks.
Among the many inimitable features of 181 Fremont’s residences are the sweeping bay, bridge and skyline views. While they are a central focus of every home, Oldroyd and the ODADA team configured the interiors to reveal these views slowly as owners arrive and move through the space. “There was a conscious effort to make the view unfold itself to you,” says Oldroyd. “Which, I think, is a more romantic way to enter your home.”
When it comes to the interior design details, Oldroyd balances the building’s distinct structural elements with contemporary and classic pieces as well as a carefully curated selection of natural materials to create a timeless aesthetic. And while lively at-home entertaining is a key element of each home’s configuration, Oldroyd and the ODADA team strived to make every residence feel inviting and calming—like a true refuge above the city. “We don’t want to overstimulate you here,” he notes. “We want you to come home and feel restful and held, cozy and warm and secure.”
