This is what life looks like inside San Francisco's poshest condo buildings

By

Saline swimming pools, climbing walls, spa rooms, 24/7 valet, fitness centers, rooftop barbecues, and prize-winning architecture? Yes, please.

If you're ready to buy your own home but don't want to sacrifice the ease and amenities of apartment living, San Francisco's swell of luxury high-rise condos have all the creature comforts and then some. Gather your millions and take a look inside some of the city's poshest new condo buildings.

Calling itself one of the most structurally resilient buildings in the nation, 181 Fremont's foundation is drilled 260 feet to bedrock with a state-of-the-art exoskeleton structure that can withstand an 8.4 seismic event with no structural damage (when can we move in?)—good to know considering the condos cost over $4 million.

But the interior is as artful as a day at The Met, with full-slab Calacatta and Carrara marble walls, French oak floors, lofty windows, and endless designer details courtesy of architect Jeffrey Heller. A sailing aficionado, Heller's building evokes dozens of ship masts braced together on the exterior; inside, he conjures the natural rhythms of water through the seamless transitions of frameless doorways and no molding throughout.

Posh accoutrements include custom-forged, Parisian brass hardware; Valcucine glass cabinets and Brazilian white macaubas quartzite countertops in the kitchens (some of which can be hidden behind ebonized oak sliding panels); fully-integrated entertainment systems in the master bedrooms; and freestanding soaking tubs, heated marble floors, Ann Sacks pebble floors, and Toto and Duravit fixtures in the master baths.

The building also has direct access from its seventh floor to the 5.4-acre Salesforce Transit Center Park; a gorgeous lobby designed by Orlando Diaz-Azcuy; a wraparound observation terrace; fitness center with yoga room; and a library—oh, and service staff and a concierge for anything else you might desire.
