Now Renting: New Luxury Units for a Housing-Starved City
Author:Philip FerratoWith rentals tough to find at any price and San Francisco’s “median” rent hovering around $3200, the new tower you’ve seen rising up on Rincon Hill is offering a range of luxuriously finished units from just above $3200 for a 1-bed, 1-bath to more than $15,000 for a penthouse.

Plus it’s not just about housing for the prosperous. While there are no “affordable” units in the building, the entire One Rincon Hill project will bring over $26M to the city’s Affordable Housing Fund and San Francisco schools.

Built and finished with condominium-level details and appliances, Tower Two will share the same world-class amenities (although a parking space will set you back an additional $350 a month) with Tower One, plus this 47th floor lounge:
