Partnering with Government
Establishing robust partnerships with government officials fosters a smooth and collaborative development process, allowing Millennium Partners to amplify its impact in each city and enhance the communities in which we locate. We invest in surrounding neighborhoods, enhancing green spaces, creating cultural hubs, and revitalizing heritage buildings all aimed at enhancing the community fabric.
Contemporary Jewish Museum
Millennium Partners was instrumental in San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum’s ongoing effort to build a new facility beginning in 2002, when the company helped plan the space for the museum. In July 2006, Millennium Partners gifted the museum 22,700 square feet of land abutting the Four Seasons Hotel.
Mexican Museum
The Mexican Museum, in the renovated historic Aronson Building, was developed through a close partnership between Millennium Partners and the City of San Francisco. The 52,000 sq. ft. museum includes permanent galleries, changing exhibitions, an education center, museum store and offices. The façade design showcases the work of Dutch artist Jan Hendrix, now based in Mexico, and features themes of migration: winds, water, flora, and fauna, lending the museum its iconic look.
Skyscraper Museum
The Skyscraper Museum, at the southern tip of Battery Park City, opened its permanent home in 2004, occupying ground-floor space at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences. The space was donated by Millennium Partners and is dedicated to preserving, collecting, and displaying important artifacts of New York’s rich architectural history. It also offers a strong educational component and attracts more than 10 million tourists every year.
Paramount
As part of the development of the Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common, Millennium facilitated the redevelopment of the former B. F. Keith’s Vaudeville Theatre (later a movie palace) into the Boston Opera House, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the Paramount Theatre into Emerson College’s Paramount Center. St. Francis House, Chinatown YMCA, and The Metropolitan, a mixed-income and affordable project in Chinatown, received much-needed funding as part of the project.
125 Mason Street Family Housing
Millennium Partners joined forces with Glide Economic Development Corporation to build the 125 Mason Street Family Housing project in San Francisco and provided assistance with financing, developing, designing, permitting and construction from initial design to completion and start of operations. 125 Mason Street incorporates 81 affordable housing units to the working poor as well as a community facility space at the base of the project.
