AMA Manual of Style - Stacy L. Christiansen, Cheryl Iverson 2020

Local Addresses
Abbreviations

Use abbreviations when complete local addresses are given:

AMA Plaza is located on Wabash Avenue near the Chicago River.

The JAMA Network editorial and publishing offices are located at 330 N Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60611.

In some cases, these designators may or may not be abbreviated, by convention:

Mount St Helens

Saint Louis University

Common abbreviations in addresses are shown below.

Do not abbreviate the non-English counterparts of the above designators (eg, boulevard, avenue, place, Strasse, Platz).

14 boulevard Poissonnière

Hugstetter Strasse 55

When the plural form is used, do not abbreviate (eg, Broadway and Spring streets). When a street number is not given, do not abbreviate.

Bond University, Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine, Centre for Research in Evidence Based Practice, University Drive, Gold Coast, Queensland 4229, Australia.

Do not abbreviate room, department (except in references; see 3.13.2, Government or Agency Reports), or division.

Do not use periods or commas with N, S, E, W, or their combinations.

There may be exceptions to these rules. For example, “One Magnificent Mile” and “One Gustave L. Levy Place” are not only addresses but also proper names of buildings or office centers. In these cases, it is appropriate to spell out address numbers that accompany designators such as “Place.” In such cases, the editor or author should use common sense and verify unusual addresses.
