Post Street Retail is Having a Moment
Post Street is a storied San Francisco shopping fairway running from the
Presidio down to Market Street and commanding the northern side of the
city’s illustrious Union Square. The street specializes in both highbrow
and low-brow international clothing, accessories, home goods, and
jewelry. It’s home to Goyard, Cartier, Burberry, Zara, the North Face,
and Nike. While Sak’s Fifth Avenue and Williams-Sonoma have held court
here for years, other purveyors have tended to move out as rents rise to
stratospheric levels, producing some of the highest, and fastest
increasing, premium retail rents in the world. Even the venerable
Christian Dior was forced to vacate its prime Union Square location on
Stockton Street to avoid skyrocketing rent and move into a new home on
the corner of Grant Avenue and Post. There was more shuffling when
Shreve & Co., the famed San Francisco jeweler, had to give up its
namesake building thanks to astronomical rents. A long list of changes
like these have altered the face of Post Street shopping. Here are some
of the most notable changes.
The city’s most luxurious cosmetics spa, Serenity MedSpa, from the
brother and sister team of Dr. David Kang and Dr. Lisa Kang, has
expanded. The spa now takes up two complete floors at 126 Post Street,
with the second floor housing facial treatments and the new sixth floor
focusing on body work. The beautiful and soothing space was designed by
Sophie Azouaou of SophiSticate Interiors and has white marble–tiled
floors, grey tufted love seats, sculptures, and artwork by local painter
Sergey Konstantinov and photographer David Perea. It’s not at all
clinical but luxurious and inviting.

The party was hosted by Azouaou and Joel Goodrich. Notable attendees
included as Sonya Molodestkaya, Lawrence Wong, Bill Sautter, Jill
Pietrowiak, Elaine Mellis, Teresa Rodriguez, Beth Schnitzer, Ken
Henderson, Joe Seller, and Mary Beth La Motte.
Nineteen months ago Serenity MedSpa moved into a new and much larger
space—suddenly the spa, which specializes in everything from laser hair
removal to the latest in facial technologies, had become one of the
biggest medical spas in San Francisco. Last week Serenity, which is
owned and operated by brother and sister, Dr. David Kang and Dr. Lisa
Kang, became even bigger. The spa took over another floor of the Post
Street building—now it’s on both the 2nd and 6th floors. The beautiful
and soothing space was designed by the lovely Sophie Azouaou, owner of
SophiSticate Interiors. Azouaou used only recycled materials to make the
spa as non-invasive, healthy, and green as possible. The rejuvenated
spa has white marble tile floors, grey tufted love seats, interesting
sculptures, and artwork by local painter Sergey Konstantinov and
photographer David Perea. It’s not at all clinical, but luxurious and
inviting. Azouaou created the calming pale green paint that covers all
of the walls. The color has become so popular that ‘Sophie’s Green’
(which also happens to be made of low volatile organic compounds) is now
a shade available at Creative Paint.
