However, the crucial point, IMO, is that it should. While listed costs per sq. ft. ranging from $1200 to $1800 per sq. ft. it should bring a lot more to the table than One Rincon, where the costs are $800-$1300 per sq. ft. and those at the Infinity around $850 to $1500 per sq. ft. Great view from the 26th floor, but what about those units below the 24th floor? One better like the interior finishes as you will be looking into the side of another concrete structure ... much like most buildings in Manhattan. So, no argument about the building being awesome, but it depends what one values most [views or marbled countertops, etc.] as to whether it's worth the lofty costs. Plus, while Infinity has the edge over the other two on location, I say it's a toss up between the bus station next to the Millenium versus the on-ramps at One Rincon.

Do all of the floors in the Millennium have 20 foot ceilings or something ? How is it possible to be looking down at the top of the 42 story Infinity building from the 26th floor of the Millennium ?

People are getting SLAUGHTERED, and I know many people who are saving and investing the difference down 20-40%, myself included. It is absolutely ugly.

When i think of "views" in real estate terms, I think of un-obstructed views of natural sceneries like waters, trees, mountains. I never thought a view that combines air-conditioning units on rooftops in a concrete jungle mixed up with a bridge and a body of water as "views". The combination is too jarring for me, and only serves to remind me how much I wish the concrete jungle in front of me would just go away and disappear. How do people define “views?”
