SAN DIEGO – Cortez Hill, one of the most distinctive and desirable residential neighborhoods in all of urban San Diego has long been among the most sought after addresses in the city.  Located on a hill adjacent to Balboa Park with western vistas over the city all the way to the Pacific Ocean to the west, residents enjoy a lifestyle distinct in downtown living.  Aloft, the newest community to be built in this prestigious location has been well received by buyers, especially those that want a low price and higher level of amenities without huge  HOA fees or the congestion that accompanies so many of the other community locations in the metro area. In fact, that is what so many of the buyers are finding so compelling about the community.  “When we envisioned  this project, we knew it was going to be something special” said Dene Oliver, CEO of Oliver McMillin the developer.

The scales of the architecture and the amenities we selected put Aloft above the competition.  Aloft at Cortez Hill offers a unique living environment above the city, reminiscent of Nob Hill in San Francisco”
