This $10 Million San Francisco Penthouse Has Views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, and Alcatraz
The top-floor perch at the Royal Towers in Russian Hill has hit the market for $10 million. The modern abode, designed by Napa Valley's Erin Martin, is a sleek home base in one of California's most picturesque cities. From the 29th floor, you'll have unobstructed views from the downtown skyline to Coit Tower, Alcatraz, and both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. James Nunemacher at Vanguard Properties holds the listing.

The two-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit encompasses 3,640 square feet on the uppermost floor of the William Turnbull Architects–designed building. The sweeping main room sports handcrafted woodwork, steel-trimmed aluminum ceiling panels, and artisanal plaster walls. In the living room, you can cozy up by the oversized fireplace that features a textured tile, while the dining area is capped by a circular ceiling feature. The chef's kitchen, meanwhile, is decked out with Fisher & Paykel appliances, custom poured-concrete counters, and multiple pantries.
In the serene primary bedroom, the calming monochromatic vibe continues with a discreet ceiling-mounted TV. Dual sinks made of artisan-fabricated concrete anchor the primary bathroom, which also comes equipped with a soaking tub. Three private terraces wrap around the penthouse, offering expansive views of the surrounding city.
The Royal Towers includes a host of amenities that include 24-hour door service, a conference center, and a rooftop pool contained in a glass structure. The penthouse comes with three parking spaces and extra storage as well.
As far as San Francisco penthouses go, this one may actually be a pretty great deal. Other recent offerings to hit the market recently have asking prices way above $10 million: The Grand Penthouse at 181 Fremont was listed earlier this month for $35 million, far less than the $46 million price tag it carried when it soft-launched back in 2019. And in October, a duplex penthouse at the Pacific in Pacific Heights popped up at $30 million, though the price has since been reduced quite a bit, to $24.8 million.Best of Robb Report

Vanguard Properties plans to sell four hotels and residences in Portugal
Lisbon-based real estate developer Vanguard Properties is aiming to sell four hotels and branded residences in Comporta, Portugal, as reported by Bloomberg. The properties are currently under development and are expected to attract a valuation in the "hundreds of millions of euros", according to Vanguard CEO Jose Cardoso Botelho. The sale is part of the company's strategy to refocus its portfolio on Portugal's residential market. This move comes amidst a flurry of activity from international investors in the Portuguese hotel sector, including a €150m ($177m) investment by Brazilian bank BTG Pactual and British asset manager Arrow Global's purchase of two hotels, a golf course, and a marina near Comporta. Hotels have been a resilient segment in European real estate, particularly as the continent grapples with rising interest rates that began in 2022. The sector has benefited from the ability to increase room rates, mitigating inflationary pressures, and a surge in demand fuelled by the post-Covid travel boom. Portugal, in particular, saw a record 31.6 million tourists last year. According to a January report by Cushman & Wakefield, investment in Portuguese commercial property increased by 28% to €2.2bn in 2024, with hotels accounting for approximately one-fifth of this investment. Foreign investors were responsible for 74% of the total investment in the sector. According to Bloomberg, Botelho said: 'The tourism sector is experiencing strong growth, both in Portugal and across key international markets. 'This is the ideal moment to proceed with asset sales.' He also commented that Vanguard anticipates completing the sale of the Comporta properties by 2026 and has engaged financial services company Alantra for assistance with the transactions. The hotels will offer between 70 and 150 rooms, alongside 50 to 90 residences per property. Additionally, Vanguard is looking to sell 20 apartments in the Algarve region due to licensing delays that have impacted the company's strategy for the project. Botelho said that this decision is not related to the company's financial health, noting that Vanguard's debt levels are at their lowest since 2018. Co-founded by Botelho and Swiss-French billionaire Claude Berda, Vanguard has grown to become one of Portugal's largest developers, boasting an investment portfolio exceeding €1.2bn.
