700 W E Street
Overview
Few Downtown towers blend old and new quite like Electra. Electra is a 43-story condominium tower at 700 W E Street in the Columbia district, completed by Bosa Development in 2008 with 248 homes. It rises above the preserved facade of the historic San Diego Gas & Electric building, so the base of the tower carries a piece of Downtown’s past.
Inside, it’s a full-service, gated building with a concierge. Residents share a pool and spa, a sauna and steam room, a fitness center and a spacious BBQ area, along with a landscaped courtyard, residents’ lounge, billiards room and fire pit. Homes include storage, and two pets are allowed. From the upper floors, views stretch across the bay, Coronado and the city.
Electra sits at Kettner Boulevard near Broadway, a short walk from the Embarcadero, Little Italy and Santa Fe Depot. For buyers who want a landmark high-rise with real character and big views, Electra stands apart.

Electra suits buyers who want high-rise views and full-service living in a building with history and character, rather than another glass tower. The sauna, steam room, pool and fitness center appeal to buyers who use their amenities, and two pets are welcome. Its location near Santa Fe Depot and the Embarcadero works well for commuters and anyone who likes to walk to the waterfront.
Dues run $1,780–$1,810 a month (based on 2026 sales), covering the pool, spa, sauna and steam room, fitness center, concierge and common-area upkeep. There is no guest parking and there are no guest suites, so visitors use nearby street or public parking.
Leases must be at least 30 days, so nightly rentals are not allowed, but monthly and longer rentals are.
