Coronado Point

This project was originally planned as the second and third phases of The Landing condominium project on the Coronado side of San Diego harbor. The Landing condominiums had experienced a slow rate of sales and the majority of the condominiums did not take advantage of the views of the harbor. It was also architecturally designed to replicate the famous Hotel Del Coronado.

When FDC acquired the project, we decided to dramatically change yet complement the appearance of the original Landing building. By reducing the yield from 92 to 80 condominiums, the new design allowed the homes to take advantage of the view of the harbor and the San Diego skyline. After the original submittal for permit, there was considerable concern from neighbors that the two additional buildings would not mimic the existing building. FDC withdrew the submittal, conducted numerous and extensive meetings with the City of Coronado residents, and eventually met with success. However, the timing of these delays coincided with the declining financial situation in Southern California, forcing FDC to sell the project to a Japanese developer. The two additional buildings were successfully completed with all FDC design specifications intact.
