Inside One Rincon Hill
January 23, 2008
An owner of a one-bedroom at One Rincon Hill recently went up to their new condo and snapped these photos, which they posted online. I’m just as underwhelmed by the finishes and overall look of the apartment as you probably are — but let’s face it, the ORH is about views, not flooring.
Any other excited ORH owners care to share photos of their new residence? Please send them to damionmatthews@gmail.com
Views from One Rincon

Here are the most recent photos from INSIDE One Rincon.

One Rincon Reaches 60th Floor
June 16, 2007
Work crews have poured cement for the last floor (the 60th) of One Rincon Hill this week. In one month it will be topped off at 605 feet. The glass exterior of the tower (called “the curtain wall”) is two-thirds complete.
As you can see from the photo above, taken by the Chronicle’s Mike Kepka, the views from One Rincon are extraordinary. Imagine waking up to this view every morning — so serene, it’s just you, the sky and the water. There will be no need for shades, unless you’re afraid of being spied by a passing jet.
The Chronicle has an interesting article about the glass exterior of the building, described by the architect as “a bluish color with a lot of green in it.” It is insulated, with double panels, to keep out the roar of the traffic on the Bay Bridge, and has a white aluminum trim on it to make the building look even taller and slimmer than it is.
Jim Chappell, president of the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, says that other South of Market high-rises in the area “look like a bunch of refrigerator boxes” in comparison.
For those who are interested in living at One Rincon, there are just a few units available in the high-rise — eight to be exact. The low-level townhomes, on the other hand, have not sold well at all. Out of 14, only two have been sold. If you need pricing, just email me at damionmatthews@gmail.com
