Not to mention that The Cask Room will be moving from its current location to triple its size downstairs What about Lotus Thai, Kebab Shop, East Village Tavern + Bowl, Java Jones, and Cowboy Star across the street? And it’s 3 blocks from Petco Park where the Padres play. More of you, please.ĭid I mention there’s a small dog walk area within the secure building? How about a world-class common area on the first floor? Oh wait. Now that’s just awesome considering my “favorite” neighbor likes to burn cowboy killers at 2 in the morning. You can’t smoke in your unit, on your balcony, in any common areas, or even within 25 feet of any entrance. And even better is that this designation means it is a smoke-free building. In other words, The Hanover Company “gets it”. But my favorite part? Strata is a LEED (Silver) certified building. Upon entering, I half-expected the lobby attendant to offer me a complimentary cocktail and hot towel. The touches are luxurious like a fancy hotel. Upon entering, you can tell that this is a luxury building arguably nicer than a lot of the resale condo buildings in downtown San Diego. The verdict: amazing building worth every penny.

I had the opportunity to take a tour of the common areas and some of the units recently. Plus, I’d heard anecdotal evidence from tenant clients about how outrageously Strata’s units were priced. Like most other downtown Realtors, I had not been inside the new Strata apartments in San Diego’s East Village.
