But you like the
Watermark? Enough to promote it as a good model of new development? Oh, man...the Watermark already looks like something slapped together on the cheap in the mid-20th century that has weathered too many winters. One Rincon may not be "distinguished" in everyone's eyes, but it is pleasantly modern in an old town, sculptural in a skyline of flat planes, glassy in a town with too many concrete boxes, and suitably tall for a parcel in downtown San Francisco. For once.
