Description

Perched on the 14th floor in the coveted “02” stack at The Meridian in downtown San Diego’s original and most prestigious full-service luxury tower, this beautifully remodeled residence offers sweeping 180-degree bay and ocean views from Mexico to Point Loma. The home features two primary suites, two private balconies, and a sophisticated modern design throughout. The chef’s kitchen boasts a waterfall island, hidden walk-in pantry with laundry, double-drawer dishwashers, premium stainless appliances, and quartz countertops with full-height backsplash. Spa-inspired bathrooms include a wet room with ocean views and privacy glass. Additional highlights include a dry bar with wine refrigerator, custom fireplace, mirrored dining wall, engineered hardwood floors, trimless LED baseboards, built-in Bluetooth speakers, and smart-home upgrades (Nest thermostat, Bluetooth lighting, USB outlets, updated electrical panel, and recessed sprinklers). Meridian delivers white-glove living with 24/7 doorman, concierge, mandatory valet, porter service, extensive guest parking, resort-style pool deck, fitness centers, guest suites, and world-class amenities — all in the heart of the Marina District a few blocks from the waterfront, Seaport Village, and Gaslamp. Completed in 1985 by Walter Smyk’s Meridian Company Ltd and designed by renowned architect Maxwell Starkman (Dunes Hotel, Sony Pictures Plaza), The Meridian set the standard for luxury high-rise living in San Diego, a benchmark that newer towers still strive to match. Built with steel beam construction and concrete poured in pan, with three feet between floors for superior sound insulation, Meridian remains one of the best-constructed towers in the city, a level of quality that would be cost-prohibitive to replicate today. Residents enjoy true white-glove service, including 24/7 doorman, concierge, porter service, mandatory valet parking, extensive guest parking, dry-cleaning delivery, and on-site management and engineering staff. The resort-style plaza level spans nearly three-quarters of an acre, featuring a heated saltwater pool, spa, private cabanas with retractable shades, multiple fire pits and BBQ areas, and lush gardens with fruit-bearing citrus trees. Additional amenities includes two fitness centers, state of the art equipment, sauna, steam room, and locker rooms, the Meridian Room with catering kitchen and piano, conference room, library, and five hotel-style guest suites with daily maid service. Located near the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, USS Midway, the Convention Center, Little Italy, Gaslamp Quarter, and waterfront parks, Meridian offers the best of urban coastal living with easy access to the airport, trolley, dining, and recreation.
