Bosa Development, a venerable name in luxury real estate, has officially launched sales for Andia, a striking 40-story condominium tower poised to redefine urban living at 1160 9th Avenue in Downtown San Diego. This project marks a significant milestone as the first new for-sale high-rise condominium development in the city’s core since Bosa’s own Savina in 2019, signaling confidence in the evolving San Diego real estate market, even as the broader condo market experiences a period of recalibration.
Located on a full city block bordered by 8th, 9th, B, and C Streets, Andia offers 399 residences. The tower’s commanding presence will contribute to San Diego’s ever-growing skyline, with an anticipated completion in Fall 2027.
Andia’s development carries a notable backstory. Initially envisioned as a rental apartment building, Bosa Development made the strategic decision in early 2024 to pivot the project to for-sale condominiums. This shift underscores Bosa’s belief in the enduring demand for homeownership in Downtown San Diego, offering a rare opportunity for buyers seeking new, high-end urban residences in a market that has seen limited new for-sale inventory in recent years.
This decision comes at a pivotal time for the San Diego condominium market. According to Polaris Pacific’s March 2025 report, the downtown condo market is in a period of “recalibration,” characterized by rising median resale prices alongside declining transaction volumes and a more selective buyer pool. While the median resale price for downtown condominiums climbed to $755,000 in the three months ending February 28th – a 3.1 percent increase year-over-year – the total number of resale transactions declined by a significant 16.1 percent over the same period, with only 104 units changing hands. March 2025 saw an even more pronounced slowdown, with just eight resale transactions recorded, an 86.2 percent decline from March 2024.
Despite these softening sales figures, certain competitive market forces remain. All-cash purchases still represent a considerable portion of sales (32.7 percent in the past three months), and average days on market remain steady at 52 days, suggesting a relatively balanced market. However, investor activity has moderated, and the overall inventory of resale condos increased by 59.3 percent year-over-year, though the Months of Remaining Inventory (MRI) figure of 5.3 indicates a market nearing equilibrium rather than a severe oversupply.
The Polaris Pacific report further highlights the striking limitation in San Diego’s new condominium pipeline. As of March 2025, no new construction condominiums were actively selling, and only 389 new units were under construction citywide, all concentrated within East Village. This scarcity of new supply, coupled with increasing construction costs and regulatory hurdles, makes Andia’s entry into the market particularly significant for buyers seeking brand-new, modern residences. While some districts like Bankers Hill and East Village have shown stronger price and sales activity, others, such as Little Italy, have seen declines, underscoring the divergent submarket trends within downtown.
Andia’s design is a collaborative effort by renowned firms. JWDA Architects is the design architect, with Chris Dikeakos Architects, Inc. serving as the architect of record. OTJ Architects is responsible for the interior design, complemented by Urban Arena’s landscape architecture.
The residences at Andia span from approximately 620 to 1,729 square feet, offering a mix of 1- to 3-bedroom layouts, including 1- and 2-bedroom plus den options, and live/work units. Each home boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, providing expansive city and bay views, and features gourmet kitchens equipped with premium Bosch appliances, Caesarstone quartz countertops, and modern Kohler fixtures. Buyers can choose from two distinct contemporary finish palettes. Pricing for 1-bedroom units starts in the high $500,000s, with 2-bedroom units ranging from the low to mid-$900,000s, and 3-bedroom residences beginning around $1.7 million.
A hallmark of Bosa Development’s projects, Andia distinguishes itself with a collection of over 30,000 square feet of resort-style amenities, designed to cater to a holistic urban lifestyle. Key highlights include:
