Luxury on the Way at the Lumina
NEW DEVELOPMENT BRIEFING
Luxury at the Lumina in South Beach/Embarcadero San Francisco
As we’ve said before, we know three of the sales staff members well having worked with these agents previously at other developments and transactions in San Francisco. As of late-September, here’s what we know:
1) Pricing is not yet finalized and will be finalized before the end of September. The process will be done over a number of days where you would submit an offer for a home that is available for sale and they’ll respond. 2) HOA dues will be in the $1000/month range; Smaller units will be less, larger units will be more. 3) Sales will be doing will be done in phases. Expect up to 70-75 units to be released during the first phase with prices going up with each phase (less supply, more demand?) 4) Units from only two of the buildings will be released, the “Plaza” (mid-rise) building on Folsom and Main (called the “A” building) and the shorter high-rise on Main St (“D” building). The A building scheduled to be closing August 2015 The D building scheduled to be closing January 2016 Anticipated AmenitiesThe Lumina’s amenities (only accessible by Lumina residents and their guests, occupy nearly 44,000 sqft of space and include: A ROOFTOP TERRACE An expansive ±10,500-square-foot rooftop oasis offers a “truly elevated entertainment experience.
