Property Description

Imagine waking up in the heart of vibrant downtown, where every day is a new story waiting to unfold. This luxury residence at the Cortez Blu, an exclusive boutique building, isn't just a condo; it's a launchpad for an unparalleled urban lifestyle, perfectly situated just steps from Symphony Plaza, Balboa Park, Little Italy, and the Gaslamp. Step inside your eighth-floor sanctuary, a space totally redefined in 2024 to blend modern luxury with architectural distinction. The design choices are intentional and inspiring, featuring striking exposed concrete walls adding texture and an industrial-chic edge to high-quality finishes. You'll find bespoke elements everywhere, from custom cabinetry with granite tops and high-end appliances to sophisticated designer lighting and hidden tech shades. The commitment to unique architecture extends to the bathrooms, which feature fixtures by legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering picturesque city views through floor-to-ceiling windows and access to a private balcony. The en-suite bathroom indulges with a dual custom vanity, soaking tub, wet room, and walk-in closet. But the real showstopper is the over 750 sq. ft. private view terrace—a rare, almost impossible-to-duplicate outdoor space that seamlessly transforms your living experience. It's your personal stage for entertaining guests or simply soaking in continual, breathtaking city vistas. This turnkey property, complete with secure parking and storage, offers a lifestyle that is both sophisticated and thrilling in the pulsating center of the city.

Perched atop the serene Cortez Hill, Cortez Blu offers the idyllic location in Downtown San Diego, coupling urban convenience with neighborhood charm. This location affords quick access to freeways, putting the entire city in easy reach, but near all the verve and excitement of the cultural and brimming nightlife, sporting events, and social happenings of the downtown area.
