SFBlu– July 11th, 2008

I wish I knew how to put that little horizontal dash over the ‘u’ in the SFBlu when I type it out. It looks so much better.

 I did a hard hat tour of SFBlu yesterday, with a special focus on the penthouse units on the top floor. There are four of them– ranging in price from $2.65- to $3.5+M.  All of them are built on three levels– the top floor is a tiny solarium room that opens out onto a big corner terrace, that can become wonderful outdoor garden, with stunning views towards the bay and downtown.  The floor below is the main living level, which has a wonderful spaciousness– there’s enough room for two seating areas and a large dining room table.

The lower level has the bedrooms. Here the rooms look a little small, but it’s hard to tell how small (or large) they really are because there’s no furniture and, for the most part, no walls yet– just steel framing.

Finishings at SFBlu are, for the most part, exceptional. Nice, thick glass shower doors, high end cabinetry and big floor to ceiling windows.

The least expensive units look smack into the side of the AT&T building which isn’t very exciting. The architect has tried to compensate by squaring off each window, to allow for sliver views towards downtown at the front corner or the living room. The upside to these units is that they are very reasonably priced, considering the square footage. Two-bedrooms wit this kind of face are in the mid-800K range for 900+ square feet.  For a view away from AT&T, the price jumps up into the $900’s.
