Experience legendary luxury at The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, San Francisco, housed in the city's most iconic landmark building at 690 Market Street. Located at the corner of Market and Kearny Streets in the Financial District, this historic skyscraper represents the perfect fusion of 19th-century architectural grandeur and 21st-century luxury condominium living.
Originally completed in 1889 as the Chronicle Building (also known as the De Young Building), this landmark represents San Francisco's first skyscraper and the first steel-frame office building west of the Mississippi River. Designed by legendary Chicago architects Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root, the building stood as the tallest structure on the West Coast at 11 stories and became an enduring symbol of San Francisco's turn-of-the-century prosperity.
The building suffered major damage in the 1906 earthquake and fire but was masterfully rebuilt by Willis Polk, who ran Burnham's San Francisco office. The Chronicle occupied the building from 1889 until moving to new headquarters at 901 Mission Street in 1924. In 2007, the building underwent extensive historic restoration and was converted into The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, earning designation as a San Francisco Historic Landmark. The restoration preserved the building's Richardsonian Romanesque architectural details and iconic facade while creating 52 exclusive luxury residences within its 24-story tower.
