RETHINK DOWNTOWN - whats coming to San Diego soon?

My Dear Friends,
As you may noticed, there are a lot of constructions going on in Downtown San Diego. I attended the Presentation Session yesterday about new Bosa building that is coming to E Street. “ Pacific Gate”  is going to be gorgeous 217 units 41 stories building. It is very similar to NY Style buildings with chief concierge, luxury car fleet, fitness center, steam room, sauna, 24 hours doorman, security, heated pool and hot tub, guest suit, and luxury car fleet.  The inspiration for this amazing building is taken from Vancuver .  Architect of this amazing project is Kohn Pederson Fox- the prominent New York firm granted their first San Diego commission here.




A little bit about future design of the tower. Seems like the designers tried really hard to switch a little bit from NY style towers. The long axis of the oval was set on a diagonal alignment to increase water-facing views, and the floor plans were adopted into two “ nested” arcs, creating dramatically sharp “prows” and room for balconies at either end. The architects use metaphor of seashells and ocean waves when explaining this design.  As you can see from the picture, gate lobby shows how the fout nature –derived themes of  “three, sea, sun and earth” have informed their choice of natural materials and detail design there.




HOA are going to be around $1300/ month.
Their pre- sale started already for one, two and three bedroom condos with 1,280-2,608 Sq. Ft.  Future buyers will have the option to buy several units and combine them in one.
The prices for those condos are $1.4 million for two bedrooms and $2.9 million for three bedrooms.

I love how Bosa Group is trying to reshape San Deigo skyline and it is very exciting that a lot of new buildings are coming to Downtown!

Any house can be transformed to dollhouse with new 3D Matterport Camera!

My Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you what we use for our new listings in San Diego now! Have you ever heard about 3D Photography and Matterport 3D Camera? Well, this is the camera that makes your house look like dollhouse or the house from the popular game Sims (that I used to play when I was a teenager). You can walk through the house or condo as you are there. You can take a look at the ceiling, at the kitchen counter and see every single detail of the property. This new technology is sooooo cool and easy to use! 



That’s how it works:
This is the camera that rotates on its tripod for 60-80 seconds.









Then, you would need to put the camera to different place as you walk into the property:





The process will take 1-1.5 hours to complete the house depends on square footage.  Now, it is designed for indoor use only. And I am very excited to use it and play with it on my listings! Here are two examples that we have done recently. First is the gorgeous townhouse on La Costa Golf Course and second is cozy townhouse in 4S Ranch! Enjoy! 



Remember, if you need to sell or buy a house or condo in any area of San Diego County, please contact me for free consultation 858-500-2339!

"Santa Barbara" Soap Opera Dream House from childhood memories in...Point Loma!

Dear San Diegans,

When I saw this Estate in person, I was blown away by ocean and city views and unique kitchen design. This masterpiece is located in Point Loma, La Playa region. Historically, this place was a harbor, and cargo was loaded (and unloaded) there from 1769 to 1870. After that time, main port was relocated to Downtown that was called New Town that time.  Nowadays, La Playa is one of the most expensive neighborhoods of San Diego County.
This neighborhood has two yacht clubs: San Diego Yacht Club and Southwestern Yacht Club.

This particular house is finished with Jerusalem Stone that keeps house cool at summer and warm during winter time.  Four out of seven luxury bedrooms have ocean views, private elevator, wine cellar for seven thousand bottles, six car garage, and spa – all of these make this Estate very special and spectacular. This 18,500 Sq.Ft. estate was built in 1990, and sits on almost one acre of valuable San Diego land:)

And this picture below reminds me the soap opera from my childhood that was very popular in Russia in 90's and was called " Santa Barbara", pam pa ra paaaaa......
