Personal elite membership ‘Core:’ is coming to San Francisco in 2023

Another elite private club will set foot in San Francisco in 2023, this time in one of the city’s most iconic buildings.

Core, a members-only club with locations in New York City and Milan, will occupy three floors of the Transamerica Pyramid, first reported by the San Francisco Business Times.

Sources told the Business Times that the 45,000-square-foot space will include “work suites, a restaurant, gym, outdoor spaces and a personalized skincare program called Dangene Institute.”

But access will not come cheap. The initial membership fee was listed as $50,000 in 2016, with annual contributions of $17,000, according to then-Entrepreneur.com.

Membership is limited to “an international community of minds, mavericks and leaders,” according to the club’s website.

The organization declined SFGATE’s request for comment.

Another exclusive San Francisco club, The Battery, announced its expansion into Oakland earlier this year, paying between $10 million and $12 million for the historic former Bellevue Club on Lake Merritt. The San Francisco location at 717 Battery St. functions as both a club and a hotel, and fees are $2,700 per year.

The Bohemian Club, an exclusive men’s club at 624 Taylor St., reportedly cost $30,000 to join and $600 a month in 2016. When another private club in San Francisco, Wingtip, opened in 2012, it reportedly cost $2,500 and $200 a month to join.
