Yesterday, Curbed tried to make sense of CA Assembly Bill 728 (allowing developers to accept binding non-refundable 3% deposits on pre-construction developments) and the current condo market; sales at the Watermark; and the relevancy of new sales centers to consumers. Unfortunately, we think they missed the mark on all... Read More »

Thank a change in state legislation (allowing for 3% non-refundable pre-construction deposits) for the boom in new development sales centers slated to open this spring/summer. One such sales center, the 9,000-square-foot, $2.5 million sales center for One Rincon Hill, will feature “a fully appointed, two-bedroom model apartments with... Read More »

Great news if you’re looking to buy (probably not so great if you already did). After four months, four condos in the 18-unit 69 Clementina are still available, and at least two have been reduced in price (by as much as $100,000). In addition, all four are now advertising... Read More »

While the sales center at the nine-story, 300-unit Palms is open for business, the first model units are still a couple of weeks away from completion (only hardhat tours at the moment). Regardless, Phase I has sold out (80 units), and Phase II just hit the market (~100 units);... Read More »

Polaris Group has launched a website for the Glen Park Market Place which consists of 15 condominiums offering “stylish finishes and contemporary floor plans,” a grocery, and a public library. In doing so, it also appears that Polaris Group has liberated borrowed lifted done none of the aforementioned. (see... Read More »

Inspired by a tip from Damion Matthews (the last new unit at the St. Regis is now in contract), we thought we’d check in on a couple of other new developments we’ve been tracking: 1. 1725 Washington: No newly reported sales in the past three weeks (seven units still... Read More »

Okay, so maybe we were less than impressed by the One Rincon Hill webcam, but their video left us dazed (and yet strangely giddy). Yes, based on the pictures and press (“the tallest residential property west of the Mississippi”) we knew these towers were going to be tall, but... Read More »

And speaking of Intracorp, The Hayes has launched a new website since we first alerted you to New Condos Starting In The $400,000s. (And yes, the new site is complete with the requisite floor plan porn, their own inside scoop, and a nice little neighborhood map.) ∙ The Hayes... Read More »

The Arterra, a 268-unit ‘Green’ condo development, has broken ground at 300 Berry Street. Developed by Intracorp San Francisco (also developing The Hayes) and architected by Kwan Henmi, the Arterra is marketed as “clean design, pure living,” and billed as a “pioneering green building of sophisticated design.” The three-level...

At first glance, it’s just another move. Upon closer inspection, however, it’s poignant commentary on the springtime rush to renovate and the heightened demand for construction dumpsters (and perhaps lack thereof) in San Francisco. On a much smaller scale, perhaps not too dissimilar from the shortage of labor and... Read More »
