Infinity Mania continues as BLU gets ready for it's close up

I was surprised at the number of responses I received last week regarding sales at The Infinity's Tower II. It seems that most folks who follow the Downtown real estate market are going to base their opinions on its current health by how well the new release sells. Although I'd say that this is a pretty shaky method, if current traffic in the sales office is any indicator, it should be a bustling February. A, my wonderful friend on the Infinity sales team, barely had time to wolf down a sandwich for lunch today because he's been so busy with tours and following up with potential buyers. "Do you think it's pent up demand for the second tower?" I asked him. He replied that the people mobbing the office generally didn't even know about the new release! Whether or not these people are a gaggle of looky-loos or if they are in fact real buyers remains to be seen. I'll keep you posted and will report back on Infinity Tower II after my tour next week.

Another exciting Downtown unveiling is coming soon--one that may prove to be a formidable alternative to the developments on Harrison and Main Streets. BLU will unveil its public art installation this week as the finishing touches are being put on the slender, 21-story, saw-toothed beauty. The ladies of BLU told me that they should have three models ready to tour in a few weeks; landscaping and street furniture have been installed. One of the most extraordinary things about BLU is the setting. Unlike other parts of The City where there are still empty lots immediately adjacent to large developments, BLU is the last piece of the puzzle along this stretch of Folsom and that gives it an instant sense of place. As a buyer, it's also nice to know that what you see is what you get; the neighborhood and its amenities are already there. It's a great streetscape with three centuries of architecture in a single block.

Whether or not you are a buyer or just curious, I encourage you to visit these two very different--yet equally appealing--places to call home. Buyers in Downtown San Francisco have never had as many diverse and high quality choices as they do now. For your expert tour of these and other Downtown condominiums, please contact me.
