Well, the neighborhood is expanding. Electra, Bosa’s newest high rise in San Diego is open and new owners are moving in daily. This 43 story residential high rise combines the historical legacy of the 1911 San Diego Gas & Electric facility with a contemporary and sleek residential tower. This newest addition to the Columbia District in downtown San Diego is creating quite a buzz because of the elegant and unique Conservatory, beautiful lobby and amenities and the variety of floor plans offering views and state of the art appliances and finishes.
The Electra was first offered for sale in January of 2005 when the real estate market was on fire. Since then, as every one with a pulse knows, there have been some changes in the market and speculators who purchased in Electra hoping for big returns by flipping at the close are extremely disappointed. But, bad news for sellers means good news for buyers. There is a vast assortment of units already being offered for resale and prices reflect motivation and, sometimes, desperation. It will take at least six months or longer for the inventory to be absorbed and pricing to settle down. But, keep in mind, there will be no more new product until Bosa’s Bayside project is finished in 2009. So, the Marina District and Columbia District have this one new project to promote. And, remember, the Columbia District is just beginning. Once this district is fully developed according to city and Port District approved plans over the next 10 years, it will be one of the most beautiful and desirable waterfronts in America.

Watch CCDC’s New Downtown Video
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this video speaks volumes describing and depicting the power of the waterfront and the rise of downtown San Diego. For so many reasons and so many people, downtown San Diego is emerging as the most exciting city on the western seaboard and the growth is amazing with no end in sight.
World class restaurants, theater, cruise ships, hotels, booming convention center, Petco Park, Balboa Park and a mild year round climate are just a few of the reasons this downtown has become a destination place. And, this is just the beginning. There’s so much more to come!

If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times: “There’s too much inventory downtown. It’s a bubble! It’s going to burst! Prices will fall like a stone!” Well, hysterics aside, let’s take a look at the real picture which means, the big picture which means, taking the long term view as well as the current view and combining it with some important economic factors. Then, I believe the hysteria will melt away and in the foreseeable future, San Diego downtown will rise again with a vengeance. The following article by Alan Nevin of Marketpointe Realty Advisors, featured in the September 2007 Metropolitan Magazine, is a great, well researched article and helps outline and clarify the facts. I invite your feedback and look forward to your responses. Excerpt:
Downtown’s Shrinking New Condo Inventory As builders stop building, the supply of homes no longer is bottomless It has been almost a year since we broached the topic of the Downtown condominium market in this column. Yes, things have changed, and despite the glut of negative press, the glut of condominiums some predicted has not materialized, and business isn’t so bad. The resale market is holding up rather nicely. The inventory of active resale listings at the end of July was 492 compared to 613 one year ago. Days on market remain at about 90. That is a lot longer than ordinary (60 days), but condominiums are selling.
