Coronado Shores Towers: Luxury living on the beach

Way back in the 1960s and 1970s, a condo developer (probably from Florida) decided that the City of Coronado needed ten 15-story luxury condominium towers overlooking the city and its famous beaches.

At the time there were no zoning laws to prevent the developer from doing what developers like to do: develop!

While the first tower was being built, the City tried to enforce a 40-foot height limit, but there was no law in place stating such a limit. The City lost, and the first tower was completed in June 1971.

While subsequent condominium towers were being built, the City and its 26,000 citizens were deciding that never again would a developer come into Coronado and build monster towers in its domain. Buildings now are limited to a height of 40-feet or three stories, which is part of what makes Coronado the small, quaint beach enclave that it is.

There are 140+ units in each of the ten towers. Each tower has a name and its own web site (some web sites are under construction):

1. Cabrillo
2. La Sierra
3. Las Palmas
4. Las Flores
5. El Camino
6. La Playa
7. La Perla
8. El Encanto
9. El Mirador
10. La Princesa

Each tower also has its own Condominium Association, and the common areas and recreation facilities are managed by the Coronado Shores Landscaping and Recreation Committee.

There are four swimming pools and four spas, although only three pools and three spas are heated. Each day at 8:00 a.m., the temperatures of the heated pools and spas are posted online right here.

As of February 5, 2010, there are 27 units for sale at Coronado Shores, ranging in size from 705 square feet (1 br/1 ba) to 2,900 square feet (3 br/3 ba). Prices range from $700,000 to $3,900,000. HOA fees range from about $500 monthly to about $1,200 monthly.
