Located at 1730 Avenida del Mundo, Cabrillo Tower holds a special place in Coronado Shores history: it was the first of the ten Shores towers developed.

For today's buyer, however, its history is only part of the story.

Cabrillo's orientation creates an interesting variety of views, floor plans and exposures that can make one residence feel dramatically different from another only a few floors—or stacks—away.

What Makes Cabrillo Different?

Cabrillo was positioned at an angle relative to the coastline rather than simply presenting one flat face toward the Pacific.

That orientation is important.

Depending on the stack and floor, residences can capture perspectives toward the Pacific Ocean and Point Loma or east toward Glorietta Bay, San Diego Bay, the Coronado Bridge and Downtown San Diego.

This is why describing a Cabrillo condo simply as "ocean view" or "bay view" doesn't tell the entire story.

Understanding Cabrillo Stacks

Coronado Shores residences are organized vertically by stack.

For example, residences ending in the same unit number generally share the same basic original floor plan and orientation on different floors.

This makes stack particularly useful when analyzing comparable sales.

A remodeled residence in the same stack several floors away may be a more relevant comparable than a similarly sized condo elsewhere in the building.

When evaluating Cabrillo, consider:

• Stack

• Floor

• Primary view

• Secondary view

• Balcony orientation

• Renovation level

• Privacy

• Relationship to neighboring towers

Floor Plans

Cabrillo provides one of the broader mixtures of layouts within the Shores, including studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations.

That allows the building to appeal to buyers seeking everything from a smaller Coronado retreat to a larger full-time residence.

Many units have been substantially remodeled since the building's original construction, making interior condition another important valuation factor.

Cabrillo Tower Amenities

Cabrillo residents participate in the larger Coronado Shores amenity environment, which includes swimming pools, tennis and pickleball facilities, fitness facilities, the Beach Club, landscaped grounds, security and direct access to Coronado Beach.

Buying in Cabrillo Tower

When evaluating a Cabrillo condo, don't compare it indiscriminately with every Shores sale.

Start with the same stack or similar orientation, then adjust for floor, view and renovation.

That produces a much more useful picture of value than simply comparing price per square foot.

Cabrillo vs. La Sierra

Buyers interested in the northern portion of Coronado Shores should usually compare Cabrillo with neighboring La Sierra Tower.

La Sierra offers the closest relationship with the Hotel del Coronado, while Cabrillo's distinctive orientation creates a different combination of view corridors.
