This is from a contact at The Potrero: "By the way, we are getting ready to roll out a great new incentive on all of our 1-bedroom homes in the next week or so. It is going to be a “6 months of no mortgage payment program!” I will send you more information as the program is finalized, but if you have any 1 bedroom buyers on the market, this could be helpful for them!"
If you are in the market for a one bedroom in San Francisco and want to be in a great location in one of the, in my opinion, better new condo buildings, call me and we can talk more. I know of some other 'special agent' incentives that we can get you as well!
Even if you are not preapproved, feel free to call Ye and just tell her that you read this article and she will ask you a couple of questions and then give you her thoughts as if you would qualify to buy with this program.
Also, there is a two-bedroom that was put into contract the first week the building was on the market that JUST coming back on this week. It is not even in the MLS. Top floor, corner unit with perfect downtown and bay views. One of the best units in the building. I got the sell price and incentive program for this too.
This is from the Millennium Tower for today, Friday, October 26, 2007.

This is a good article about what stays with the property and what does not when it is sold.
Item 9 of the Contract for the Sale and Purchase of Real Property copyright San Francisco Association of Realtors (the contract used for making an offer on property in San Francisco, CA) states:
"Fixtures: All fixtures and fittings attached to the Property and major appliances for which custom openings or encasements have been made are included, free of liens, in the Purchase Price, including electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating fixtures, hardware, solar systems, screens, awnings, shutters, window coverings, drapes, curtains, and related hardware, attached floor coverings, television antennas/satellite dishes and related equipment, water softening systems, air coolers or conditioners, pool and spa equipment, mailbox, garage door openers and transmitters, security systems, private telephone systems, trees, shrubs and outdoor plants planted in the ground, and items permanently attached to the Property, except for:_________________"
But in practice, it is best to actually write in anything you want that you are unsure of in item 10, Personal Property.
Item 10 states: (For Residential Property) Note to Buyer: Personal Property items listed in the marketing materials are not included in the sale unless specified here. The following personal property on the Property at the date of Acceptance is included in the sale, free of liens and without warranty of condition:______________________"
Even though items such as curtains, built in microwaves, etc. are included under item 9, it is best to list them in item 10 to avoid any confusion or problems down the road.
So if you love that original light fixture in the living room or those silk curtains in the bedroom, make sure you list them in item 10, even though they are included under item 9 and save yourself the disappointment and hassle later when you walk into your new home for the first time!

The developer of this project has a great track record with loft conversions in San Francisco and LA. They are known to have some of the most true (i.e. New York-style) lofts on the market. It is reported as being almost half sold out already, which does not surprise me.
The beautifully renovated Hales Warehouse, located at 410 Jessie Street offers 52 residential and live/work units available for sale. The historic building features light-filled spaces with magnificent city views. The street level will soon be home to a captivating French Bistro.
The other three buildings that make up The Mint Collection are the unique Station House building, located at 418 Jessie Street was once part of the historic Hales Brothers Department Store and formerly served as a San Francisco Fire Department firehouse.

The Sliver Building, located at 424 Jessie Street offers luxury residences available for lease. The project features six distinctively designed units, each encompassing an entire floor, with the seventh and eighth floors comprising a two-story penthouse unit.
The Haas Candy Factory, built circa 1907, offers sunlit, contemporary office space with exposed brick walls and historic arched windows. This five-story building was specially designed to allow full-floor occupancy on floors two through five, and features a restaurant on the ground floor.
The building’s exterior architecture hints at its earlier role in the City’s history. Built in 1926, the building originally served as offices and warehouses for the Hale Brother’s Department Stores, one of the city’s first premier retailers. Years later, the Hale Brother’s stores became part of the retail conglomerate of Carter, Hawley, Hale. The original structure was designed by the Reid Brothers architects, renowned for such buildings as the Fairmont Hotel and the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego.

From the people who brought us The Four Seasons comes the Millennium Tower. The aptly named Millennium Partners have experience and success in high-end condominium building, so it will be great to watch the progress at 301 Mission Street.
The following is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Millennium Tower or 301 Mission Street is a blue, all glass, 60-story highrise condo tower currently under construction on the border of the South of Market and Financial District in San Francisco. This $400 million project was developed by Millennium Partners, of New York City and designed by Handel Architects.
Rising 645 ft. into the air, it will be the fourth-tallest building in San Francisco and tallest building to be constructed (currently) since 345 California Street in 1986. The Millennium Tower complex in which the tower rises from (on the south end) is located on Mission Street and bounded by the Fremont and Beale Streets and the north end of the Transbay Terminal. In addition to the 60-story tower, there is a shorter, 125 foot (38 m) 11-story tower on the north end of the complex with more condos and residential amenities. In between the two towers, there will be a two-story glass atrium at about 43 ft. (13 m) tall.
In total, the project will have 437 units, some of which (~120) will be extended-stay hotel units and the others residential units. The will be 350 parking spaces in a 4 story underground garage, with a parking space to unit ratio of about 0.8. The tower is designed to resemble a translucent crystal and to be a landmark for the Transbay Redevelopment and the southern skyline of San Francisco.

One Rincon Hill was approved by the San Francisco Planning Commission on August 4, 2005. It will be constructed in two phases with parking for 455 cars. The entire complex is classified as a high-rise life safety project. The Clock Tower Building was demolished in 2005 to make way for this complex. A ceremonial groundbreaking took place in November 2005, but permits for construction were held up by the San Francisco Department of Building Construction until January 2006. At issue was the new use of the core-outrigger structural system, a first for earthquake-prone San Francisco. City officials agreed with structural engineers on the use of this system after additional review.

On the sunny northern slopes of Potrero Hill is the appropriately named "The Potrero", a new mid-rise development. With great weather and lots of sun in a neighborhood that is considered both a favorite and a classic, The Potrero is sure to be a hit with buyers. The Potrero is close to the new UCSF/Mission Bay Development and the freeways for both East Bay and South Bay access while being in a very relaxed urban environment.
I think that there is a lot of upside to this development in that Potrero Hill is a favorite location for both locals and buyers that move to San Francisco, it has some of the best weather and is right next to the UCSF/Mission Bay development as mentioned above. I expect that this development will be a great buy for both buyers that intend to live there and for those that want to buy it as an investment. With all the high-paying jobs coming to the UCSF/Mission Bay campus and the lack of development opportunities in the immediate area, I think this will have higher than average price appreciation.
