AGI Capital, founded by Alexis Wong, is one of the lead developers of the SOMA Grand. This is a great interview about the building, the area and San Francisco in general.
Since she founded AGI Capital in 1998, the company has completed over $500 million of development and investment opportunities and Alexis Wong has led the company to growth as a multi-million-dollar, vertically integrated real estate investment and development firm. In October 2006, Ms. Wong led the effort to successfully form a joint venture partnership with TMG Partners and CalPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System), a $230 billion and second largest pension fund in the U.S. to invest $100 million in urban infill housing projects. This joint venture is first of its kind with CalPERS and AGI Capital is the first Asian developer receiving such allocation.
