Although this is a large unit, it lacks the "glitter" and neighborhood of places in Little Italy, or Marina. For this type of money, you can get a great view at the Grande, or one of the other Bosa projects. Also- too close to the freeway. Maybe they think having the grocery store in the building is a huge selling point . . .although the selection there is very limited.

Hi Mark,

Also keep in mind The Mills was supposed to be a rental project and it shows. I do like Cortez Hill as a neighborhood although I think they need a lot more retail.

Also while there is a very there is a big empty lot directly in from of the view path.

Also lot's of new and unsold condos coming to Cortez Hill.

Cortez Hill

I like that area too, as very close to downtown, but quiet (especially far from the train noise). I think I speculated here before that the Cortez Blu would see HUGE price reductions to get people to move in. . .I would bet after Labor Day things will really start to move - down.
