Experience prestigious pre-war living at Pacific Heights View Cooperative, also known as "The Heights," one of San Francisco's most exclusive and architecturally significant cooperative apartment buildings. Located at 1940 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94109, this historic 10-story landmark building was constructed in 1925 and represents the apex of cosmopolitan city living in Pacific Heights.
The Heights was constructed in 1925 as a prestigious cooperative apartment building designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival and Classical styles. This imposing 10-story facade is surrounded by meticulously sculpted formal gardens and manicured boxwood hedges that establish a commanding street presence on Broadway. The building entered through a classically arched portico features an extensively refurbished main lobby with elaborately carved plaster ceilings, intricate moldings, black and white checkerboard marble floors, full-length mirrors, and coffered ceilings.
The building recently celebrated its centennial and completed major infrastructure upgrades to usher it into its next century of luxury living.
The Heights contains just 14 exclusive cooperative apartments (some sources indicate 9-13 residences), including full-floor units, half-floor apartments, and penthouses ranging from approximately 2,000 to 3,333 square feet. Residences feature grand-scale entertaining rooms with soaring 10-foot+ ceilings, period architectural moldings, ornamental plasterwork, marble fireplaces, built-in shelving, hardwood floors, large casement windows, and bay windows.
Many apartments showcase spectacular panoramic San Francisco Bay views spanning from the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands to Alcatraz Island, Angel Island, Russian Hill, Coit Tower, the Transamerica Pyramid, and the Financial District. Units include updated gourmet kitchens with top-line appliances (Miele, Sub-Zero, Bluestar, Bosch), spa-style bathrooms with Carrara marble, walk-in closets, and in-home laundry.
