| Update on 310 Townsend - Brick and Timber Warehouse Conversion - Like A Loft But Better | October 11th, 2006 |
|
310 TownsendI urge you once again to contact me instead of the sales office or developer. You deserve quality representation on the purchase of new construction and the benefit of a Realtor working in your best interests. If you want references on the good job I do representing buyers of new construction just ask– I’ll give you the names of some new owners who will sing my praises. 310 Townsend is a 1908 brick warehouse that is being converted to forty-five condominiums. Technically they’re apartment, but have a loft-style feel, with extra-high ceilings, exposed brick and timber posts and beams. and post. Like a loft, the extra high ceilings also make the units feel bigger than they actually are. Prices range from $470,000 (don’t get excited, it’s small and dark) to $1.85M for a 1500 square foot 2br/2ba with skyline views. Most of the units are in the $700-900K range and run 860-940 square feet. Please keep in mind that while this seems like a high price per square foot you are buying a brick and timber conversion building. There are only 9 other condominium buildings like it in San Francisco. The brick feature walls are wonderful and the units facing the street will get the benefit of wonderful arched windows. Parking is an additional $20,000 (I know this boosts the psf, but I still think the units are a fair value). Only 28 parking spaces are available. They will be sold with the most expensive units, unless someone doesn’t want one, in which case it will be sold to the next highest unit without parking. Finishings include tile in bathroom, w/w carpet in living area and hardwood in kitchen. They will be offering an upgrades package. The developer has quietly sold roughly 15 of the units already. That leaves 30 left. There’s a good assortment of sizes and price ranges still available. . . Showings are by appointment only. Be aware that the building is still under construction and you need lots (lots!) of vision to see what these places will look like once completed. I think they will be beautiful. The high ceilings makes the units seem so much bigger than they are, and the brick and timber is wonderful. It’s also a smaller building with a more intimate feel than its neighbors like 170 Off Third or The Beacon. Wanna see it? Just call me– 415-577-0809. I hope to hear from you! |
