Living
Lifestyle at the Towers
The
Towers, also known as One Embarcadero South, was built as an
apartment complex. Now under new ownership and management, it is
reinventing its quality and way of life into a luxury living
homeowners resort-like complex with great success. The Towers has
been sequentially undergoing extensive remodeling as rented units
end their leases. Each unit is being completely remodeled and
upgraded beautiful luxury living condominiums. The Towers homes,
with all modern needs considered, afford incredible views and easy
access to everything the City-by-the-Bay has to offer. Though Pac
Bell Park is across the street, even the roar of the crowd cannot be
heard inside the new, well-insulated and sound- proofed homes unless
windows or balcony doors are open, except perhaps
when the announcer says, "Barry Bonds hits another home run
clear into the Bay."
Part of the overall change for
improved lifestyle is the renovation of the Amenities building. On
the ground floor, the concierge desk is now available most hours of
the day and night to assist with coordination of personal, business,
and recreational needs of the owners.
The parking attendant’s office, where underground parking is
managed, can assist with owners’ automobile needs. Up one floor is
a large gym with new and up-to-date equipment overlooking the ball
park and marina park across the street. There is also a room for
fitness classes. On the third floor is a social gathering room with
multimedia capabilities, including an excellent sound system and
giant flat screen TV that accommodates DVD and videos with an
extensive library of films available. Also on that floor are a
business office with computers, fax, and copy machine and meeting
rooms for professional
appointments, meetings, and instruction classes. Outside the top
floor, the pool, spa, and outdoor fireplace with BBQ and lovely
furnishings provide an outside recreation area.
Homes
in this luxury complex range from $750K to $1.6 million dollars, and
they are selling well, even in this economy.
Transportation services are also
convenient from the Towers. The Metro stops in front and goes to the
BART station, Amtrak is a block away, two freeways are only six
blocks away, and the airport is less than twenty minutes away, so
getting around individually or in groups is easy. The South Beach
Marina and all its business services for water interests plus bike
rentals is across the street next to Pac Bell Park. Finding a fine
resstaurant is also easy to do in the area. The Towers is a home
run.
New
Towers homeowners include a number of young professionals--single
and married, "empy nesters," and a few young families
joining single and married baby boomers and new retirees. It is a
smart developing community. The one thing that all new owners seem
to have in common is energy and interest in enjoying full and active
lives. The Towers is an amazingly well-priced option. Thirty-six
more of the larger homes will be available this summer.
