Experience the pinnacle of San Francisco luxury living at Royal Towers, one of Russian Hill's most prestigious and sought-after addresses. Located at 1750 Taylor Street, San Francisco, CA 94133, this iconic 29-story high-rise cooperative building offers just 77 exclusive residences with breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, and downtown San Francisco skyline.
Built in 1961 (some records indicate 1964), Royal Towers stands 371 feet tall as a commanding mid-century modern architectural landmark on the summit of Russian Hill's eastern slope. This classic San Francisco cooperative building features floor-to-ceiling glass windows in every residence, providing unobstructed views of the city's most iconic landmarks and the full North Bay. The building's distinctive design would be deemed unfeasible to construct in today's regulatory environment, making Royal Towers a truly irreplaceable piece of San Francisco real estate history.
Royal Towers is structured as a full-service cooperative apartment building rather than a traditional condominium, requiring board approval and owner/cooperative interviews for all purchases. This selective process ensures an exceptional community of sophisticated residents who appreciate refined luxury living.

Floor plans include the popular "02" Executive floor plan with south and west exposures and the highly coveted Imperial floor plan offering up to 270 degrees of panoramic views.
Residences feature spectacular open floor plans with floor-to-ceiling windows, premium hardwood flooring (mahogany, white oak), gas fireplaces with book-matched onyx or custom surrounds, custom millwork and cabinetry, high ceilings (ranging from 9 to 10+ feet), private balconies and terraces, gourmet kitchens with top-tier appliances (Thermador, Miele, Sub-Zero), spa-style bathrooms with Carrara marble and Dornbracht fixtures, whole-house air conditioning, motorized window shades, and sophisticated lighting systems throughout.
Royal Towers provides exceptional full-service living with 24-hour door attendants and concierge service, on-site residential management team, engineering and maintenance staff, janitorial services, and sophisticated security protocols. The building underwent extensive common area renovations designed by internationally acclaimed design firm ODADA, featuring redesigned reception area, lobby, grand reception hall, club room with catering kitchen, library, conference room, and indoor/outdoor entertainment spaces.
Resident amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, glass-enclosed heated swimming pool with retractable roof for year-round use, sauna and spa facilities, yoga room, rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, modernized high-speed elevators, guest parking, and climate-controlled storage units. Many residences include 2-3 car side-by-side or tandem parking spaces in the secure garage.
