Millennium Tower, San Francisco California, “Top 10 Residential Buildings In The World”

St. Regis Penthouse Was $70,000,000, Now $35,000,000. Yes, That’s Correct – $35,000,000 Less.
The original “asking” price for the 20,000 square foot St. Regis Penthouse (188 Minna), was $70,000,000, and at that price it was only slightly ambitious.

BFD Price Reductions
A post wherin I look at price reductions that seem to be pointless. 1. Courtesy of SF Schtuff, 1001 California St., #3 is a super lux condo in the old Hitchcockian San Francisco splendor.

Battle Royale: San Francisco’s Infinity Towers Versus Some Peninsula Townhouse
