Experience architectural grandeur at The Royal, a San Francisco Designated Landmark building transformed into 46 luxury condominiums in the heart of the Financial District. Located at 201 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, this historic Georgian Revival masterpiece built in 1907 offers elegant urban living steps from Montgomery BART Station, Union Square, and the Embarcadero.
Built in 1907 for the Royal Globe Insurance Company as one of the first commercial buildings constructed after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, The Royal is officially designated as San Francisco Landmark #160. Designed by renowned New York architects Howells & Stokes, this 11-story high-rise showcases stunning Georgian Revival architecture featuring white marble, red brick, and green and white terra cotta ornamentation.
The building's iconic facade is crowned by an ornate marble clock supported by a lion and unicorn, adorned with English roses and Scottish thistles, and the motto "Tutum te sistam." Two cartouches feature the Liver bird representing Liverpool and a cross and dagger. The sculpture work is attributed to Rochette and Parzini.
The Royal's magnificent lobby features imported European marble and stone from a 17th-century Italian palazzo, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The historic doors in the elevator lobby are authentic pieces from the palazzo, while the reception area showcases rich architectural details preserved during the 2006 conversion to condominiums by Heller Manus Architects.
