The Summit

The Summit is a 32-story residential building in Russian Hill standing about 96 meters tall at 999 Green Street. It features views of San Francisco Bay and includes multiple parking levels alongside residential units.

Construction finished in 1965 under architect Joseph Eichler, who brought modern residential design approaches to the city. This project reflected broader changes happening in San Francisco's built environment during that period.

The building appears in San Francisco literature through mentions in local authors' novels set in the city. These literary connections helped establish it as part of the broader cultural landscape of the area.

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 building housed several notable figures from politics and business, including a former high-ranking government official and the founder of a major kitchenware company. These residents added to its reputation within San Francisco circles.
