Another Apple executive is taking a bite out of San Francisco’s ritziest neighborhood as the city’s luxury housing market continues heating up.
Mike Fenger, Apple’s vice president of worldwide sales, purchased a historic mansion at 2649 Green Street in Pacific Heights for $13 million, the San Francisco Business Times reported, citing city records. The seller was Matthew McEvoy, who listed the home in March for $12.8 million.
The circa-1916 property spans 5,775 square feet with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and Golden Gate Bridge views. The deal pencils out to roughly $2,250 per square foot.
Fenger previously lived in Los Altos Hills near Apple’s Cupertino headquarters before making the move from Silicon Valley to San Francisco. The tech executive is planting a flag on a rarefied stretch of Pacific Heights that has become the who’s who of tech wealth and old-money San Francisco.
Former Apple design chief Jony Ive, now a player in the booming artificial intelligence sector, owns a home nearby on Billionaire’s Row, which he bought in 2012 for $17 million. Other neighborhood residents include Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, DoorDash founder Tony Xu, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters and entrepreneur Laurene Powell Jobs, who set a city record in 2024 with her $70 million purchase. Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison quietly sold his Pacific Heights estate last year for $45 million.
San Francisco’s ultra-luxury market has seen the strongest recovery from post-pandemic doldrums. Sales of homes priced at $10 million or more jumped more than 60 percent year over year in April, according to MLS data cited by the Business Times. Activity in the $1 million-to-$2 million range, meanwhile, was flat from the year prior.
Pacific Heights has dominated the city’s pricing leaderboard so far this year. Recent eight-figure sales over the past month include the $29.9 million trade of 2350 Broadway, a $27.5 million sale of 2830 Pacific Avenue and a $24 million transaction for 2606 Jackson Street.
