FirstService Residential awarded management contract for The Beacon high-rise in San Francisco

Tuesday September 22, 2026

FirstService Residential, North America’s leading property management company, has been selected to provide management services for The Beacon, a 595-unit luxury mixed-use high-rise community in San Francisco. 

Located at 250-260 King Street in the city's Mission Bay/South Beach area, The Beacon consists of two residential towers and a vibrant commercial component that includes retail, dining and service businesses. The amenity-rich complex offers a wide range of features including a fitness center, clubhouse, business center, outdoor pool, sauna, dog park, bike storage, and 24/7 front desk and security services.  

The management contract became effective September 1 following a 30-day transition period led by FirstService Residential's Northern California team. 

"We are honored that the board selected FirstService Residential to serve The Beacon," said Tiffany Hannah, executive vice president of the high-rise division at FirstService Residential. "This is an iconic San Francisco high-rise community with a strong foundation and engaged residents. Our team is committed to building trusted relationships with the board, residents and on-site staff while elevating service standards and delivering the experience residents deserve." 

The Beacon's board sought a management partner capable of providing proactive leadership and elevating day-to-day community performance across its residential and commercial components. Throughout the proposal process, FirstService Residential collaborated with MarWest Commercial to provide additional expertise related to mixed-use and commercial association management. 

"As our board evaluated management partners, we were looking for a team that would be responsive, proactive and invested in the future of our community," said Anita Sterling, board president of The Beacon Residential Community Association. "FirstService Residential demonstrated a clear understanding of our needs, and we're excited to work together to strengthen communication, improve accountability and enhance the resident experience." 

During the transition, the management team focused on restoring consistency, enhancing resident engagement and establishing a visible on-site presence. Shortly after assuming management responsibilities, the team hosted a resident welcome event attended by board members and residents, providing an opportunity to introduce staff and begin building connections within the community. 

"The Beacon is exactly the type of sophisticated, upscale community where FirstService excels," said Amy Mathieson, president of California's high-rise division at FirstService Residential. "What stood out to us about this community is how invested the board and residents are in its success. Our focus is on being responsive, transparent and providing the support, resources and expertise needed to help the community operate at its best."
