History 

The complex was built in the early 1960’s by reknown architect Edward Durrell Stone, who also designed Radio City Music Hall and the Kennedy Center.  It was one of the first buildings completed on the newly named Foster City and is located in Neighborhood 1. The Admiralty was originally built as apartment rentals and was named the Commodore Garden Apartments, a hip and trendy spot for the who’s who of the Peninsula. It was also a popular home to many of the Bay Area’s flight attendants, because of it’s proximity to the airport.  The clubhouse, pools and tennis courts used to be known as the Foster City Raquetball Club and the clubhouse used to house a restaurant and bar inside. Jack Foster was known to hold many functions there.  Similarly designed buildings were built next door, known as the Sandpiper and Sandcastle Apartments.  Admiralty, Sandpiper and Sandcastle share the clubhouse, pools and tennis courts per an agreement put into affect by Jack Foster.

The complex was later converted to co-op units and is now a condominium complex.

Directions and Location

The Admiralty complex is conveniently located at the entrance to the residential portion of Foster City, across from City Hall, and at the corner of Hillsdale Blvd. and Foster City Blvd. Along the backside, the complex is fronted by Comet Drive.

From Highway 101, take 92 East and then take the Foster City Blvd. exit, which is the last Foster City exit before you end up on the San Mateo Bridge. At the exit (facing Orchard Supply Hardware), you will turn left and then immediately turn right at the stop light. Go straight for about a block and you'll see the Admiralty complex on your left.
