The Infinity

The Team at The Infinity is so STRONG. That includes, Anthony, Nelson, Fei, and Kim to name a few!

A special shout-out to Gary, who always puts a smile on my face, none the less everyone that walks through our doors. Gary, Thank You for going above and beyond everyday for us!!!

Without asking, packages are available for pick up, important messages are relayed, and residents are fully taken care of! Personalities radiate throughout the 4 buildings.

Located in the Rincon Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, and walking distance to the Embarcadero w/ views of the Bay Bridge, The Infinity makes home feel that much better.

Lovely location and view. Really gives a whole new meaning to skyline views. Free parking

I've now lived here for 9 years and some change... and I still love it.

The location feels more like a neighborhood since the Philz and Woodlands Market opened. On Saturdays, I will still walk over to the farmer's market even when I have nothing to buy as it's always lively.The giant bow/arrow installation on the Embarcadero is also a popular place for pet owners to socialize their dogs. On the week days, I love being able to run or bike to the Embarcadero and take the road all the way around the circumference of the city, uninterrupted by stop lights! It's about a 2 mile mostly flat route to the Marina or 4 mile route to the Presidio, which is the gateway to Baker Beach, Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands.

The Infinity itself is well run. The staff has been working their asses off with everyone's deliveries during quarantine, and they are all just SO nice, incredibly professional, and go above and beyond all the time. The common areas are always spotless and clean. The gym and pool were my favourite amenities because they were always fairly empty even when they were open. Equipment variety is always improving.

I can't say enough good things.

We sold our condo, a block away, and moved into The Infinity. The landlords were a very nice old couple. Nice buildings with a pool and gym in the basement but nothing outstanding on the amenities. It used to be an excellent location.

Then the Super Bowl came to town and the local politicians stirred up the junkies from the outlying parts of the city and some of them rediscovered SOMA. Filthy needles and human waste began to accumulate in the streets so bad. It became like hell on earth. At the Embarcadero, my neighbors toddler stepped on top of a pile of used junky needles, picked one up and asked his daddy what that was.

SFPD's response was that they have more important things to worry about. An SF City Official explained to worried parents that the shitty city's plan is to add more needle drop boxed at parks and other public spaces and implied that there would be no enforcement of laws against public nuisance, pollution, ect.

And that was my signal to get the hell out of that place.

I don't live here...but I know someone that does ;) What a lucky bastard; it's a really nice place!

Everything in the condo is chic, modern and luxurious to the steel fridge, drawers you can't slam shut (they're quiet!) to the energy efficient washer and dryer. They have big gorgeous panel windows that allow for ample natural lighting to come through.

High level of security considering you can't just walk into the lobby, you need a remote to open the door AND to use the elevator (unless you're heading straight to the Lobby). There's always security/doorman to greet you when you walk in.

The underground parking is crazy; it was built like a maze and most of the spots are tight. Plenty of street parking and depending if you're lucky, you might just score a spot where you rarely have to move it. Lots of metered parking all around.

Amenities range from business centers to a gym to a theater room. This place is definitely all about perks!! The gym bathroom also has a sauna that I would love to try one day :)

It's about a 10 minute walk to BART, 15 minute walk to the Financial District, 20 minute walk to the mall/Union Square, 25 minute walk to AT&T park, 20-30 minute walk to Safeway/CalTrain and Embarcadero is right around the corner.

Not to mention it's off the 80 freeway and really close to the 101. Don't even bother leaving the place around traffic hours, it's a death trap.

The only real downside is that the surrounding area isn't that developed yet (mostly parking lots) so all the great restaurants, lounges, bars and clubs are a walk or a cab away. Sometimes it's hard to get a cab around the area too. I think the condos here are renting at an insane price (about $3000 for a 1br/1ba!) but again, you're paying for all the perks and for living in a newly built luxury high-rise. Also, construction is still on-going for the Infinity Towers and you can hear it in the morning/afternoons.

Other than that, Iiving in one of the Infinity Towers is definitely on my wishlist!

I love living at the Infinity! Great amenities
(you name it, they have it), easy parking, good location, quiet (can't hear your neighbors), and the staff is excellent. Fei is my favorite desk person - she's so nice and helpful! Of course it's pricey, but worth it. The only complaint I have is since it's in the financial district, mostly everything is closed on Sundays, but just walk down to the ferry building and you'll be happy. It's also the cleanest streets I've ever seen in SF and beautiful views of the water & bridge.

What lovely apartments with great views and amenities. I can see why people would buy here: the views of the embarcadero waterfront are phenomenal and you are close to everything including the transit station and the embarcadero Bart station. The wide floor to ceiling windows never let you forget your prime location, which is good since you are definitely paying for it. Very nice floor plans too. Outside my budget by a long shot but grateful I got to check out the Infinity.

Great place. I'm going to compare and contrast against the Millennium since that was the other tower I was interested in.

Very good amenities, but not the top of the heap. The Infinity has a lap pool, a very large gym, a business center, conference room, theater, and a reservable club lounge. The Millennium, on top of all that, has a full size pool with an amazing skylight, a dedicated wine locker area for all residents, a kids playroom, and large shared and open club lounge area. Of all these things, I really miss the shared area for residents to hang out and chill.

The units themselves are great. I've never had a problem with noise from other units. The high efficiency appliances take some getting used to, but with the right detergents, etc ... it's become a non issue. The layouts are smart, with the signature corner units having some really striking curved floor to ceiling windows that really give a sense of panorama and wow to visitors. The Millennium, by contrast, has some very weird layouts that make poor use of the space, and also has huge girders that sit in front of various windows and block your ability to actually walk up to them.

Some of the best views in the city are here ... specifically, those overlooking the water. If you get the right unit, it's like having a giant living postcard picture of the bay bridge outside your window. Ridiculous.

On average, the views here from most units are very good. A big plus is that the Hills Bros building to the north is historic, so those views are essentially protected. The Millennium has a lot of views that just stare straight at other buildings ... and the views don't really start until you get much higher up.

Webpass services this building and it is FAST. We're talking around 200-300 mbps both upstream and downstream for less than 40 bucks a month. Amazing.

Location is pretty amazing. You can walk to BART and be at either SFO or OAK within an hour. You can light rail to the Westfield Mall and be near Union Square inside of 10 minutes. High speed rail and the Transbay Terminal is coming here in a few years, which means even more connectedness. You can go one block and be at one of the most scenic views in the entire state for a nice walk or run. Only the Millennium has a better location, since it's next to BART and a little closer to the mall, and then only by a couple of blocks. I would say the surrounding area is a little dead on the weekends and perhaps not as directly happening as living in the middle of a nice neighborhood like Pac Heights or the Marina, so that could be a downside for some.

Residents ... perhaps obviously, the age skews a bit older around here, but there's still a mix. The residents seem to be well behaved in general.

Staff ... in general, I find them to be responsive and they do care. I do sometimes need to ping more than once to get logistics taken care of, and in that respect I think the management office could do better.

What seals the deal here? PARKING. There is one parking space for every unit in the building. I have to circle a lot to get to my level, but at least I have a spot! The Millennium has valet service for some units, no spaces for many units, and only the most expensive units have dedicated spots that you can self park in. Shocking. You just can't take this stuff for granted in SF, and I expect it will only get worse in new high rises.

In short ... amenities and location a bit worse than Millennium, but still top notch. Pros - great building, great unit layouts, great views, slightly better pricing, amazing access to public transportation, and you don't have to give up your car. The Millennium certainly edges the Infinity in some ways, but, where the Infinity wins, it wins big.

EDIT: The most important update of the past two years ... unlike the Millennium, the Infinity is seated on bedrock.

Great place to live as SOMA is getting more and more stores, restaurants, and lounges that are not just for the corporate crowd (i.e. over-priced boring food with cheap alcohol)! I love its proximity to the Embarcadero where there are no cars and Ferry Building for the most amazing farmer's market and produce (when you can't make it to the actual market on Tuesday, Thursdays and Sats) and to AT&T ballpark without being to close to the drunkards and rowdiness that ensues. The parking near ATT is horrendous during baseball season. My fave part is that Prospect is just downstairs. this place i swear should get a Michelin but i'm ok it doesn't cuz I can get in most of the time!!

If you're looking to live there, here's the lowdown on the units: Units A and B are North and N-East facing, C&D are East and SE facing, and E is south-facing. Views go from city views to water to south or ballpark views. Units F-H are West facing from FiDi to south west facing. The higher floors are basically corner units with one or two duplexes (A & E). If you're looking to buy, think about whether you want the sun as it rises or sets, and if you prefer views of the hills of I want to say Twin Peaks, the water views, Ball Park, or some part of the Bay Bridge. One plus is that w the Bay bridge Lightshow and Infinity situated north of it, the show is great. On New Year's eve, you get front row seats at the fireworks too.

There's a mix of people living there, ranging from bachelors to young couples, young families and more and more empty nesters living in their dream city home. events have been catering to all of the above so can be a home to grow into. I like the fact it's not a valet building and you get a deeded spot, which some people rent out. The downside is that there are very few parking spots o the street that are not metered. Makes visitors not want to come. Overall, if there's an issue the office will do their best to address it. In the next few years, I hear Folsom will be a Blvd with more shops from 2nd ST to the water...I think that's great news!

OK, ok, ok. I don't live here, but my friend does. Lucky for me, huh!

Impressive is such an understatement! When I saw the condos in this place, my jaw dropped. The views are absolutely spectacular.

Urban living at it's finest. Really. Decor is clean and modern, a gi-normous gym with all the amenities. Not to mention safe parking and security features everywhere. And those elevators are so smooth you wouldn't even believe how high you're going! To my total surprise, the sound of city traffic...what city traffic?...disappears completely. (I can't say the same for any other place I've lived in SF)

Well, if I was super rich and wasn't afraid of heights, I'd definitely want to live here.

I would call it my urban retreat / vacation home ;)
