About This Home
As of January 2024Classic landmark minutes away from everything. Condo has fresh paint and newer hardwood flooring. Plenty of natural light as its a corner unit with multiple windows. The unit has a large bedroom and a spacious living area with large kitchen and breakfast bar. Sound-dampening window installed recently all and more within walking distance to Balboa Park, Little Italy, the Gaslamp District, and Petco Park and San Diego Big Bay! The Hill is downtown living with a strong community and neighborhood feeling. The building's amenities include 24-hour complimentary valet parking, 24-hour security & gym. The commercial spaces on the street level include a mini-convenience mart, yoga studio, hair salon and a restaurant. Come check it out! From its opening in 1927 through the 1950s, it was the most glamorous apartment-hotel in San Diego. The large "El Cortez" sign, which is illuminated at night, was added in 1937 and could be seen for miles. In the 1950s, the world's first outside glass elevator was built at the El Cortez. During the late 1960s and 1970s, the El Cortez fell on harder times. The El Cortez closed as a hotel in 1978 when it was purchased by evangelist Morris Cerullo to serve as an evangelism school. Cerullo sold the property in 1981, and the El Cortez was threatened with demolition until the San Diego Historic Site Board designated it as a historic site in 1990. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Many of the original elements remain in place, though substantial interior modifications have been made. The building is the 40th tallest building in San Diego, based on its height of 310 ft (94 m).
