Piazza Angelo, and its 92-Foot Centerpiece,  Venus


Trinity Properties, one of San Francisco's leading residential real estate developers and a pioneer in the revitalization of the Central Market area, celebrated the public opening of Piazza Angelo, a one-acre public plaza honoring developer and donor Angelo Sangiacomo. Located in the heart of Trinity Place, a 1,900-unit apartment complex on 8th Street (between Market and Mission Streets); the Piazza will serve as the permanent home of a singular collection of sculptural art designed by renowned artist Lawrence Argent - including the spectacular 92-foot stainless steel sculpture Venus, which is only slightly shorter than the Statue of Liberty which stands 111.5 feet tall from heel to crown.
