One Rincon is closing at a rate of 40 units per month, while "enthusiastic" buyers at new kid on the block, Millennium Tower, will soon move toward contract. Sales success seems to depend on zip code: The Infinity, One Rincon, and Millennium Towers are all in or near SoMa — a hot spot for both commercial and residential real estate.
