The Summit, Residential skyscraper in Russian Hill, San Francisco, US

The Summit is a condominium tower at 999 Green Street near the top of Russian Hill, designed by Tibor Fecskes of Neill Smith and Associates and completed in 1965. Above ground it has 4 parking floors and 25 residential floors.

The Summit was completed in 1965 for developer Joseph Eichler, who commissioned architect Tibor Fecskes of Neill Smith and Associates to design it. The tower rose at 999 Green Street with four above-ground parking floors beneath 25 residential floors, a stacked arrangement that placed parking inside the building rather than beside it.

The tower's literary life runs through Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City novels Significant Others and Sure of You, and through Sean Wilsey's memoir Oh the Glory of It All, which describes growing up in the building. The address to look for is 999 Green Street, near the crest of Russian Hill.

Access is restricted primarily to residents and authorized visitors, with parking available on the building grounds. The location in Russian Hill is readily accessible by public transport and near restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The Summit appears in Armistead Maupin's novels Significant Others and Sure of You and in Sean Wilsey's memoir Oh the Glory of It All. Its residents have included George Shultz, former US Secretary of State, and his wife Charlotte Smith Mailliard Swig Shultz, San Francisco's chief of protocol.
