TelevisaUnivision CEO Daniel Alegre Sells San Francisco Home for $56 Million

Daniel Alegre, the chief executive of the Spanish-language media company TelevisaUnivision, has sold a mansion in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood for $56 million. The transaction, which took place off-market, represents the city’s most expensive residential sale since 2024.

According to public records cited by The Wall Street Journal, the property at 2898 Vallejo St. Was sold by the Daniel and Gina Alegre Revocable Trust. The buyer has been identified as Granola Properties LLC.

Property Details and History

The residence is a 15,000-square-foot Beaux Arts-style home originally constructed in 1921. The estate is noted for its views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Beyond its architectural significance, the mansion has a history in cinema, having served as a filming location for the 1974 movie The Towering Inferno.

San Francisco Luxury Market Trends

This sale marks the priciest home transaction in San Francisco since a $70 million purchase made by Laurene Powell Jobs in 2024. The deal is viewed as a signal of continued strength in the city’s luxury real estate sector.

Market data indicates a rise in high-end home sales within the city. In March, 23 homes priced at $5 million or more were sold, an increase from the 12 such homes sold during the same month in the previous year.

Analysts suggest that the luxury end of the housing market remains active, supported by wealth generated from the artificial intelligence boom, even as the broader San Francisco real estate market experiences an uneven recovery.

Executive Background

Daniel Alegre currently serves as the CEO of TelevisaUnivision. Before leading the media company, he held a position as an executive at Google.
