For a truly unique living experience in Downtown San Diego, it doesn't get better than the historic landmark turned luxury apartments, 625 Broadway. Built in 1926 and serving as an office building for most of its almost 100-hundred-year history, the former Spreckels Building is considered one of the city's most iconic - and at one time tallest – properties. Centrally located within walking distance of restaurants in neighborhoods like Little Italy and The Gaslamp, 625 Broadway is a dream for anyone with urban vibrancy and convenience at the top of their apartment hunting wish-list.
Historic Landmark to Sophisticated Loft Homes
The Romanesque revival or Chicago-style building boasts timeless concrete exterior details and century-old gargoyles. Now newly renovated, the community's 231 bespoke homes seamlessly blend original historic accents alongside contemporary touches, like designer kitchens and quartz countertops, on the inside. While social spaces get hip with a resident's lounge, co-op workspace, and business center, the property also features an urban sanctuary, state-of-the-art fitness studio, yoga studio, and a pet spa.
Floor plans range from studios to one and two-bedrooms, although the building's most prized units have to be its New York-style penthouse loft residences. Boasting coveted city and bay views, they also feature original wood windowpanes, exposed brick, high lofted 12 to 29-foot ceilings, and plenty of period details. Rental rates range from $1,700 a month for a 402-square-foot studio to $6,551 a month for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom penthouse unit. Find out more at 625broadway.com.
