As we wrote in June of 2011:
Twenty years ago, 611 Marina Boulevard sold for $1,250,000. Eight years later, the property sold for $1,620,000. And eight years after that, the property returned to the market listed for $3,995,000 and sold for $3,835,500 in 2007.
Unfortunately the next sale will no longer be perfectly apples-to-apples as the first floor was reconfigured and remodeled in 2008, but 611 Marina Boulevard is back on the market as of today listed for $4,800,000.
The listing now touts “front row seating [for] America’s Cup events,” of course. And the dining room has been painted green.
Having repainted again, reduced a few times, and relisted at $3,995,000 this past June, the sale of 611 Marina Boulevard closed escrow last week with a reported contact price of $3,750,000, two (2) percent less than in 2007.

The “America’s Cup effect” was overblown. Impact on rental rates during the races is evident but overall impact on SF real estate prices/sales has been minor.
Would love to see the actual v projected economic impact report for the first series and a revised report for the Cup.
