The Infinity

The Infinity, also known as 300 Spear Street, is a mixed-use residential complex in San Francisco's Rincon Hill neighborhood. The development consists of two high-rise towers and two lower buildings, which together house 650 residential units. The two distinctive towers, Infinity I and Infinity II, rise 37 and 42 stories respectively above the surrounding buildings and clearly shape the city skyline. Architecturally, the complex features a simplified concrete structure with curved glass facades and metal elements in a blue-green tone. The original plan called for a different design with rooftop gardens, but it was later revised to visually separate the buildings from one another. Construction began in 2005, and during excavation work, a historic whaling ship wreck from 1818 was discovered. Today, The Infinity, together with neighboring high-rises, forms a new urban focal point in the South of Market district, just one block from the bay.
