- Project Address: 1281 9th Avenue
- Project Owner/ Developer: Pointe of View (developer)
A new condo block in downtown San Diego. Just another building San Diego needs.... Generic white residences occupying an entire block of land. Large red fins on the north and south side as the "architectural feature". 700 units, most unsold. More unwanted condos in downtown!
Project Awarded
"Every so often a building comes along that presents a paradoxical image to the city in which it lands. Vantage Pointe to some degree is the usual massive condominium tower with all the architectural distinction that goes with it. Unfortunately, Vantage Pointe provides a severe disservice to the city life where it meets the street."
