High-Rise Luxury Along The Picturesque Southern California Coast

Real Estate

The 939 Coast complex rises above La Jolla Cove Beach along the Southern California coast. The oceanview condo building is a local landmark, a secure haven and, for many, a home.

Both residents and rental guests can avail themselves of such luxury services as 24-hour concierge, valet parking, doormen, a community pool, spa and gym. The 162-unit high-rise is a short walk to the beach and the small cove area where seals come to sunbathe. Also within walking distance are waterfront restaurants, posh boutiques, art galleries and museums.

Now available for purchase in 939 Coast is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom contemporary that was redesigned in 2022 by CDGI, a San Diego-based design-build team known for its diverse projects and distinctive approaches.

The décor takes advantage of the natural light with reflective surfaces and emphasizes the panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean, gulls soaring above the white-water coastline and sunsets.

A wall of windows in the living room has an ideal corner spot to park a telescope and watch the migrating whales.

The dazzling kitchen features dramatic Brazilian granite slabs, waterfall countertops, engineered hardwood floors, a Subzero refrigerator/freezer, Wolf appliances and Miele dishwasher. A built-in bar/island of the same granite sits apart from the kitchen workspaces to create the dining area.

The primary suite has a fireplace, an ocean-facing window-lined seating area, walk-in closet and designer bathroom. There’s also a laundry room with a Bosch stacked washer/dryer.

Other association amenities include barbecues, a billiards room, fire pit, library and meeting rooms.
