Three Sixty residential tower opensAfter a year of delays, San Jose’s newest tower is finally openby Danny Wool on Jun 10, 2010THE Three Sixty residential tower in the heart of downtown San Jose finally opened for business this weekend. This is the fourth highrise to open downtown San Jose, and there are some great deals available. The project was delayed because of various problems with the bank that funded it. While all that has been taken care of, the delay caused some early buyers to get cold feet and move on to other homes. Then there was the financial crisis, which saw home prices in the area drop as much as 20 percent. Now people who put 5 percent toward the original purchase price when the project was launched are trying to drop out. But for potential buyers now looking for a home, it’s a godsend. Here’s a chance to get a condo in one of the city’s landmark new buildings for a great price. And price is just the first advantage of the Three Sixty. The Three Sixty was designed to offer 23 stories of luxurious living in the heart of downtown San Jose. There are one-, two- and three-bedroom units, ranging in size from 795 to 3,440 square feet. One thing they all have in common is some of the finest views in Silicon Valley—from sweeping curved glass windows in the living room and kitchen. Why the kitchen? Because it’s a highlight of the unit. Designed in the European style, with stone counters, Bosch stainless steel appliances and Italian cabinets, it’s a sweet spot to prepare and share a meal. Each unit also has hardwood floors and bathrooms finished in sparkling white marble and Grohe chrome bath fixtures. Ever have the problem that you go out to enjoy a night on the town, only to realize you left the light or oven on? That’s not a problem in the Three Sixty, which offers a state-of-the-art remote appliance control system, accessible via your cell phone. Just dial up and tell your home to turn off its own damn lights. Or dial up on your way back home to tell the kettle to make hot water for your coffee. This is real high-tech living, offered for the first time on the West Coast. If you decide to forego the SoFA entertainment district right outside your door, you can relax at home by the rooftop pool and spa or keep in shape at the full fitness center. Yes, the Three Sixty is a year behind schedule, and that’s why there are bargains to be had. Units start at just $500,000.
