This $10 Million San Francisco Penthouse Has Views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, and Alcatraz
Price differential aside, to really appreciate San Francisco's landmarks, you might just be better off buying this penthouse than taking a double-decker bus tour.
The top-floor perch at the Royal Towers in Russian Hill has hit the market for $10 million. The modern abode, designed by Napa Valley's Erin Martin, is a sleek home base in one of California's most picturesque cities. From the 29th floor, you'll have unobstructed views from the downtown skyline to Coit Tower, Alcatraz, and both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. James Nunemacher at Vanguard Properties holds the listing.

The two-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit encompasses 3,640 square feet on the uppermost floor of the William Turnbull Architects–designed building. The sweeping main room sports handcrafted woodwork, steel-trimmed aluminum ceiling panels, and artisanal plaster walls. In the living room, you can cozy up by the oversized fireplace that features a textured tile, while the dining area is capped by a circular ceiling feature. The chef's kitchen, meanwhile, is decked out with Fisher & Paykel appliances, custom poured-concrete counters, and multiple pantries.
In the serene primary bedroom, the calming monochromatic vibe continues with a discreet ceiling-mounted TV. Dual sinks made of artisan-fabricated concrete anchor the primary bathroom, which also comes equipped with a soaking tub. Three private terraces wrap around the penthouse, offering expansive views of the surrounding city.
The Royal Towers includes a host of amenities that include 24-hour door service, a conference center, and a rooftop pool contained in a glass structure. The penthouse comes with three parking spaces and extra storage as well.
As far as San Francisco penthouses go, this one may actually be a pretty great deal. Other recent offerings to hit the market recently have asking prices way above $10 million: The Grand Penthouse at 181 Fremont was listed earlier this month for $35 million, far less than the $46 million price tag it carried when it soft-launched back in 2019. And in October, a duplex penthouse at the Pacific in Pacific Heights popped up at $30 million, though the price has since been reduced quite a bit, to $24.8 million.Best of Robb Report

Trump's ‘Manufacturing Renaissance' Is Even Harder With Tariffs
(Bloomberg) -- Supply Lines is a daily newsletter that tracks global trade. Sign up here. Is Trump's Plan to Reopen the Notorious Alcatraz Prison Realistic? As Trump Reshapes Housing Policy, Renters Face Rollback of Rights Vail to Borrow Muni Debt to Ease Ski Resort Town Housing Crunch NYC Warns of 17% Drop in Foreign Tourists Due to Trump Policies What's Behind the Rise in Serious Injuries on New York City's Streets? US President Donald Trump says his tariffs will spark a 'manufacturing renaissance.' But the duties themselves are making that already monumental task even more challenging. In order to build and expand factories, companies need machinery and raw materials — many of which are typically imported and now subject to a variety of punitive tariffs. That compounds a host of pre-existing obstacles to realizing Trump's vow to re-industrialize America, which has lost 6.8 million manufacturing jobs since 1979 as production has moved to cheaper countries and automation has increased. Labor shortages, a costlier workforce, global supply chains: the Covid pandemic put a spotlight on the massive challenges of reshoring factories. Now Trump's chaotic overhaul of trade policy has added a layer of uncertainty to producers who need some degree of assurance on tariffs — how elevated they'll stay and for how long — before making long-term investments. 'The obstacles are huge,' said Gordon Hanson, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and one of the authors of a paper that coined the term 'China shock' for the loss of US manufacturing from imports of cheaper goods. 'My gut tells me it's not going to happen.' Nora Orozco wants to open a Texas factory with 200 new jobs for her footwear company Evolutions Brands and eventually move production from Mexico there. But those plans are on hold because she needs to buy equipment that only comes from China, and Trump's tariffs have more than doubled the cost. 'I like the idea of onshoring, but this makes it impossible for us,' said Orozco, who, along with many other executives, have filed over 1,100 individual requests for tariff exclusions for Chinese-made machinery. More than half of the US's imported goods are inputs for manufacturing, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. Both Democratic and Republican presidents have tried to revitalize US manufacturing that reached its peak employment in 1979, but it's now only 8% of the workforce. The industry had nearly half a million vacancies in March, the latest data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and a 2024 Deloitte analysis showed 1.9 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled in the next decade. The White House points to studies that concluded Trump's first-term tariffs created thousands of jobs. But other research from the Federal Reserve shows Trump's tariffs cost more manufacturing jobs than they added due to rising input costs and retaliatory tariffs. Also in Trump's first term, more than 231,000 jobs were affected by companies shifting work overseas, based on petitions for federal Trade Adjustment Assistance that helped workers who lost jobs or hours to off-shoring production. More than half were in manufacturing, and the total number was higher than in Barack Obama's final term. The Trump administration has touted announcements of companies investing in the US, including a $500 billion pledge from Apple Inc. But many of those announcements were tentative or had already been in the works. Companies that would be in a position to move production say they are holding off because they don't know whether tariffs are permanent or just leverage to negotiate trade deals. Manufacturers also cite the higher costs of labor and complying with regulations in the US as well as a lack of adequate infrastructure as reasons that discourage re-shoring. Tax cuts and deregulation in Trump's first term spurred a surge in announcements for domestic factory jobs, but those fell off with his first trade war, according to data compiled by the Reshoring Initiative, a nonprofit that advocates for returning manufacturing to the US. When it comes to assessing how long it would take to bring those jobs back home, it's important to differentiate between building big factories from the ground up and manufacturers who could quickly increase production at existing plants that are operating at less than full capacity, said Harry Moser, the group's founder. 'The big assembly plants, that's where you're going to take years, and the uncertainty will cause that not to be happening until the companies believe everything's stabilized and they know what the rules are going to be,' Moser said. The US is never going to return to a time like in the 1950s when low-skill manufacturing jobs were plentiful and a third of the entire workforce was involved in manufacturing, said Jay Bryson, chief economist for Wells Fargo & Co. 'Will manufacturing facilities move back to the United States? Undoubtedly they will,' Bryson said on an April 10 webinar. 'But make no mistake, we're not going back to 1955.' --With assistance from Marie Monteleone.
