CURBED SF: Peek inside the penthouse at 181 Fremont
October 14, 2019
Comes with a lifetime’s worth of bragging rights
During a tour inside the sprawling grand penthouse atop 181 Fremont—a Heller Manus-designed mixed-use tower noted for its diagonal beams zigzagging toward a 50-foot spire—the first thing I notice is that it is bereft of a balcony and a terrace. So, if you want to make a quick escape for fresh air, you’ll have to hop in an elevator, plummet 700 feet below, and huff with the plebes on the sidewalk.
