SAN FRANCISCO—The top floor of the West Coast's tallest mixed-use building sits at an elevation of 700 feet, providing 360-degree views of the city and beyond. Offered at a cool $42 million, a relative steal when compared to Manhattan prices, the full-floor 6,941-square-foot penthouse at the 181 Fremont Residences, is looking for the right buyer match.

“With all the new construction in New York, it's still rare to find full-floor residences of this magnitude or height. In many cases, the attention to details in the 181 Fremont penthouse even surpasses what one will find in some of the best new buildings in New York,” Alan Mark, president and founding partner of The Mark Company, tells GlobeSt.com. “The prices of full-floor residences of this quality at 700 feet or higher in New York often hover closer to $100 million.”

The penthouse will be ready for move-in in 2018, says the Jay Paul Company. The views span from the Transamerica Building to Treasure Island, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge and Pacific Ocean reaching the Farallon Islands.

“We are thrilled to debut the penthouse at the 181 Fremont Residences. As the West Coast's tallest and most spectacular residence, this home is without compare,” said Matt Lituchy, CIO of the Jay Paul Company. “The penthouse is the pinnacle of a rare and special building located in the heart of one of the world's greatest cities. The buyer of this home will live at heights never before experienced in San Francisco with unparalleled views, extraordinary design and superb amenities on top of the most resilient and seismically sound structure around.”

Developed by Jay Paul Company, 181 Fremont is a 70-story office and residential tower in the SOMA neighborhood that will transform the skyline. The $630 million tower features an exoskeleton designed in a saw tooth pattern. Residents will have access to city amenities in addition to transit.

Designed by Orlando Diaz Azcuy, the penthouse is comprised of five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two powder rooms, with sweeping floor-to-ceiling window views in all directions. Upon stepping off the elevator, residents will be welcomed into a grand entry gallery via a private lobby that leads to a foyer featuring checkered stone flooring. A look to the left through sliding pocket doors immediately spotlights dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Transamerica Building. The neighboring living room is in the corner overlooking Sausalito to the left and Treasure Island to the right. The formal dining room has access to the wet bar as well as a secondary service kitchen ideal for entertaining.

On the penthouse's east side, a great room has a family room, breakfast nook and kitchen featuring a Sub-Zero full tower refrigerator and freezer, two dishwashers, double ovens and a kitchen island for cooking or casual dining. Sunrise views will be visible from any area of the great room. The master bedroom on the northwestern side of the penthouse features two oversized master baths, walk-in closets, a separate study and views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Pacific Ocean to beyond the Farallon Islands. All bedrooms have spacious private baths. The fourth bedroom and bath are separated for additional guests. This suite neighbors the kitchen and laundry room within a wing that can be locked off.

“This is the first-ever opportunity to live 700 feet above San Francisco. Jay Paul Company, Orlando Diaz-Azcuy, Arup and other renowned partners have spent years perfecting the building and penthouse for residency by one distinguished owner. Ownership of this home is truly one-of-a-kind and it's our privilege to represent the penthouse at the 181 Fremont Residences,” said Mark.

The penthouse is equipped with a dedicated A/V closet and touch screen control panel to manage features including lighting control from Lutron and Lutron QS-automated roller sun shades. The elevator, which goes directly from the penthouse to the parking garage also provides access to the building's residential lobby which will lead directly to the 5.4-acre park above the Transbay Terminal. Owners have access to 181 Fremont's 52nd story sky lounge as well, featuring a wrap-around observation terrace, fitness center with yoga room, four distinctive lounge spaces, a library, conference room, bar and catering kitchen.
