Summary:  Let $D$ be any \ca. We prove that $\Cal O_\infty \otimes D$ has real rank at most $1$, exponential length at most $2 \pi$, exponential rank at most $2 + \varepsilon$, and $C^*$ projective length at most $\pi$. The algebra $\Cal O_\infty$ can be replaced with any separable nuclear purely infinite simple \ca.

Keywords:  Real rank, exponential rank, exponential length, projective length, in finite $C^*$-algebras
