What's Up? New Developments at New Developments

January is typically a slow month in real estate. People are busy working on their resolutions (or breaking them). Once the Superbowl has been played, business starts to pick up with homes hitting the MLS and buyers starting to write offers.

Some new developments have gotten a jump on activity for early 2010 and made some fun and/or interesting changes. Lets take a look...

829 Folsom: You say Goodbye and I say Hello.

Sotheby's New Marketing Group has handed over the sales and marketing reigns to The Polaris Group as of the new year.
Since opening in mid-2009 few of these Folsom Street condominiums have gone into contract, perhaps the new blood (and new pricing) will be just the trick. Pay them a visit and say "Hi" to the new team; maybe they will show you one of the killer Penthouses.

Hang out with some hot models at BLU.

Not those kind of models. Although that wouldn't hurt. Anyway, these 16th floor beauties showcase the stunning finishes and views available at what one wag had dubbed "The Millennium Junior". The A plan is especially sweet with no units adjacent and views on three sides. The Ladies of BLU await you (that would be the lovely sales team).

She's a Brick House: Union unveils the brick and timber building!


They call it Union North. It's the "old" portion of Union's new construction/historic rehab combo and you are now allowed to tour and perhaps buy. One of only two developments currently marketing (Esprit Park being the other) that gives you that elusive and desirable combination of new systems and finishes with the beauty and character of vintage brick and timber. Bonus points for the cool neighborhood already stocked with shops, bars and restaurants.

Do you have colleagues, friends or family searching for a San Francisco condominium? Your referrals have been greatly appreciated and I look forward to exceeding expectations again in 2010.
