A 13-story tower in the Marina District
CityFront Terrace pairs a 13-story tower with a piece of San Diego’s industrial past. CityFront Terrace is a condominium community at 500 W Harbor Drive in the Marina District, in Downtown San Diego’s 92101 zip code, combining a 13-story tower with the 4-story historic Soap Factory building. Completed in 1994 by Crescent Heights, its 320 homes take in city views and sit close to the waterfront and Seaport Village.
CityFront Terrace blends history and modern convenience like no other building downtown. Part of the community occupies a restored brick soap factory, a reminder of San Diego’s working waterfront, while the tower rises beside it with views over the Marina District. Residents share two pools, a spa, a fitness center set inside the historic Soap Factory, a BBQ area and bike storage, with a concierge and on-site security around the clock. Every home includes storage, and owners may keep one dog or two cats.
Living here means the bay is part of daily life: a walk along the Embarcadero, lunch at Seaport Village, or an evening in the Gaslamp Quarter, all without needing the car. For buyers who want full-service living with a genuine sense of place, CityFront Terrace is well worth a look.
