Pacific Gate San Diego by Bosa

Downtown’s San Diego newest condo tower is designed by the team of Kohn Pedersen Fox and Chris Dikeakos Architects and it features a top that resembles a seashell. About 16,000 square feet of retail space is planned at the ground floor.

Previously known as Parcel 9 at Broadway and Pacific, the 41-story, 216-unit project under construction it now has a name: Pacific Gate!

Bosa had asked the public to name this condo project through a contest and it has found the winning name.

“We feel Pacific Gate represents our vision for the building,” said the company’s president Nat Bosa, “being a symbol for the city’s future, punctuating the skyline with its iconic architecture and leading the ambitious movement toward an even more dynamic downtown.”

Completion of the Pacific Gate condo tower at Broadway and Pacific in Downtown San Diego is expected in the summer of 2017.

In mid December both Fox News and Union Tribune reported that Vancouver based developer Nat Bosa had green lighted his next and most expensive condo high-rise project known as Parcel 9 at the corner of Pacific and Broadway in Downtown San Diego to soon break ground and be completed in 2017.

Finally after much anticipation, last week Bosa broke ground on Parcel 9 at Pacific and Broadway located in the Columbia neighborhood of Downtown, just south of Santa Fe Depot.

Parcel 9 at Santa Fe Depot, the project doesn’t have a name yet as Bosa plans to hold a marketing contest to select what it will be called, will be a 450-foot, 41-story high-rise and will include 232 residential condo units ranging from 956 to 2,083 square feet and 16,027 square feet of retail space, possibly for a signature restaurant. This new tower is been built just west of Electra, another of Bosa Development’s flagship condo project.

Condos at this Bosa new condo development at Pacific and Broadway are projected to sell at an average of $1.75 million. According to the same reports even the smallest units at the currently projected rate of $1,060 per square foot would sell for just over $1 million.

If condos on this new high-rise project actually sell at those expected prices that will significantly raise property values on all other downtown San Diego condos that currently sell in the $400 to $600 per square foot price range.

Bosa said similar condos go for even more in Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco, partly due to interest from foreign buyers who are looking for places to park their wealth. They represent 10 to 12 percent of buyers in those cities, he said.

“I think we’ll get some interest but nowhere near that high,” he said. “Our market is mainly people from California. They want to sell their home and move down and some want a great unit. It’s a great location that’s going to maintain its value.”

“A great city deserves a great tower with a distinctive character,” said the architectural narrative by the firm, Kohn Pedersen Fox that is designing the project. “San Diego is a beautiful city with a long stretch of ocean front. Inspired by the dynamic forms of waves and the graceful geometry of seashells, two embracing curves define the unique oval-shaped tower with two open ends.”
