i think the main factor is that one rincon has views and a very high profile. these lower developments can't really distinguish themselves. the issue with rincon hill right now is that it's pretty desolate. it takes someone with a bit of vision to imagine a vibrant neighborhood there. i wouldn't be surprised to see the second tower wait a bit for a few more infill projects to at least get started.
