Bluwater Crossing

Bluwater Crossing was highlighted as one of the 944 PICKS in the “ELEVATION” section of the March 2008 issue in 944 magazine.

In the ultimate downtown living setup, only you’re not downtown: a spacious urban loft with every modern amenity, shopping and transportation nearby, and the beach practically at your doorstep.  Welcome to Bluwater Crossing, a new live/work loft developing aiming to bring a measure of downtown’s energy north to Carlsbad’s laid-back surf side community - sans that stressful 60-minute commute up the I-5.  Builder Trammell Crow Residential (TCR) teamed up with architecture firm MVE & Partners to essentially create a compact North County “transit village,” ideal for like-minded home-based businesses.  “Bluwater Crossing offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to network within their community,” says Brad Perozzi, manging director at TCR.  “Owners benefit from everyday foot traffic, which results in access to information and new business prospects.  Intellectual capital is just another benefit of living in a mixed-use, transit-oriented development.”  Exuding a “beach contemporary” vibe, the 78-unit community includes 51 live/work lofts and 15 two-story townhomes, each offering approximately 1,000 square feet of ground floor workspace.  An additional 21,700 sqaure feet of retail and commercial space is in the works to give Bluwater homeowners even more shopping options within eacy walking distance.  The Poinsettia Coaster station linking North County with Downtown San Diego sits just across the street should that occasional commute into the city be necessary.  Or, for a casual stroll, Carlsbad State Beach is just steps away.  Who needs downtown?
