Developed by Joseph Eichler (the man was ahead of his time in many ways; he deserves credit and praise for resigning from the National Association of Home Builders when they refused to support a non-discrimination policy in 1958) and completed in 1964, The Summit at 999 Green St. is perched atop Russian Hill and offers some of the most spectacular views that money can by of the San Francisco Bay, downtown skyline, and Golden Gate Bridge. And while we can talk about amenities and location, the appeal of this building has always been and probably always will be the spectacular views.

999 Green St. has just over 100 residential condo homes on 20 floors above six levels of parking, and homes range in size from roughly 900 square feet to just shy of 2,000 square feet. The home layouts feature an open space living plan and small walkout decks. The building consists primarily of one- and two-bedroom condominiums, although the rare three-bedroom condominium sometime pops up on the market for sale.

The most expensive condo to sell in the building (as of December 2018 – reported in the San Francisco Multiple Listing Service) was a combination of 3 residences: 2801, 2803 & 2805. Listed for $6,850,000, it closed for $6,847,900 in March of 2017.
