Bluwater Crossing

SAN DIEGO — Bluwater Crossing is a mixed-use live/work development located in coastal Carlsbad, California. Bluwater Crossing was developed by one of the nation’s largest multi-family builders, Trammel Crow Residential. The Shops at Bluwater Crossing will be a part of an entire movement in retail business – one that puts emphasis on quality of life by creating transit-oriented, mixed-use, sustainable villages. Featuring 21,547 square feet of retail/commercial space with foot traffic, owning or leasing at The Shops at Bluwater Crossing may just be the best thing that happened to local business owners.

The Shops at Bluwater Crossing were designed not only to create opportunities for business owners to grow their enterprises within the community, but to also create a commercial and residential center that is attractive to all of the businesses in Carlsbad and North County San Diego. The development is located adjacent to the Coaster, linking Coastal North County with Downtown San Diego through eight regular stops. Up to 700 people per day commute out of the Carlsbad Poinsettia station that is located literally steps outside the development, dramatically increasing the visibility of the owners’ retail/commercial space.

“The retail opportunities at Bluwater Crossing are as diverse and flexible as the community itself,” says Brad Perozzi, managing director of developer Trammel Crow Residential. “Not only will your business be a proud part of an urban-style movement, but you’ll also be at the heart of a community of literally hundreds of residents who will walk, jog or bike past your location every day.”

The Shops at Bluwater Crossing provide virtually endless retail opportunities; anything from law office to a designer’s studio, with the benefit of having a street presence for clients and customers.

Robert Henderson of RE/MAX Associates of San Diego notes that a buyer can expect to pay between $3.5 million and $4 million for an oceanfront single-family home in North County, “but everything south of Oceanside is way higher,” he says.
