Is that a high-rise or are you just happy to see me ? Infinity Tower II revealed !

Last Friday I awoke to a foggy, rainy San Francisco day. Not ideal for my first visit to Tower II at the Infinity, but I was anxious to get a look at the sleek new 42-story cylinder and the views. My friend started our tour on the 25th floor. The floor plates are roughly the same as Tower I, starting with the A units at 9 o'clock and, moving in a clockwise rotation, to B, C, D and so forth. The new tower offers the same layouts but with slight adjustments to some of the kitchen and bath finishes; however, the top five floors have an upgraded appliance package and drool-worthy Poggenpohl kitchen cabinets from Germany.

The biggest change from Tower I is, of course, the view. The B plan feels as if its hovering high above the Embarcadero and will have no future obstructions. You cannot get any closer to the waterfront. The 1-bedroom C plan has a serene Bay outlook, but the unit with the biggest "wow factor" is the D plan. Tower I D plans still afford nice views but Tower II D's offer unobstructed, dead-on bay and bridge outlooks--far enough away from the bridge to appreciate its beauty and scale without the questionable feng shui of being right on top of it. Even on lower floors, this stack features views of the Hills Brothers terra cotta-roofed Lombardy Tower in the foreground and the bay and bridge beyond.

First closings are scheduled for April and prices appear to be in line with what the current market will bear (with likely a little room for negotiation). Contact me to schedule a tour and perhaps acquire one of these very special homes. Remember, I work for you; the Infinity sales team works for the developer!

There will always be more condominiums in the pipeline for Downtown San Francisco, but The Infinity's location and views will not be duplicated.
