Urban Industrial Design cues with surprisingly refined inerior finishes is just one way to describe Solara Lofts...

Some of the more interesting and innovative ideas have come from one of Solara’s first residents, Zach Smith. 

Modern art comes in may mediums. This custom premolded concrete bed has an integrated planter box built into the headboard!

Zach has a knack for modern design and functional innovation that has translated into a beautifully designed custom home at Solara Lofts.  But Zach is no stranger to getting attention for his designs as he has been recently featured in Dwell and Riviera Magazines.  His specialty is working with molded concrete counter tops, but his personal venture has expanded beyond his usual call of duty as he completely re-Mod-eled his home by incorporating stained concrete floors, custom designed cabinetry, hand machined pull tabs, beautifully designed and functional bookshelves that were built into the window ledges, a premolded concrete bed, modern planter boxes, premolded concrete counter tops in kitchen and bath, and a beautiful teak overlay for his balcony.

Beautifully designed with wood slat inlay on the walls, and there is never enough storage space, so custom modular storage was created.

Integrated cabinets with custom concrete finished window ledges are not only a beautiful addition to Zach & Kims home, but an incredibly functional use of space too!

A beautiful teak overlay was added to compliment Zach's concrete planter creations and mid century modern furniture.... Art + Function Personified!

What Zach and his wife Kimberly have created is a modern sanctuary that has been customed designed for just them….

But not everyone has the creative vision to Mod-ify their residence like Zach & Kim, so let the Solara Team work with you, offering creative design solutions that can enhance any of our floorplans to your specific needs and taste.

Come by our sales studio and design the perfect home just for you!

Having the ability to customize and create the “perfect” individual floorplan, not only adds long term value to the home, but breathes a personality into a community unlike no other.

Here are a few examples of homes that were personalized at Solara Lofts:

A beautiful one-of-a-kind loft was created with a litte bit of imagination.

A fabulous custom closet was designed specifically to accommodate for maximum storage. Something rarely found in an urban loft...

Meet Shay. One of Solara's new happy homeowners who had her loft "personalized" with surround sound, custom closets, and beautiful marble floors. Her urban loft is now a luxurious sanctuary, designed for her.

Having the advantage to create a custom home sets the Solara Lofts Community apart from the competition.  Why purchase a home and hire a general contractor to complete all of the modifications, when you can purchase a home at Solara Lofts that has been personalized by the builder for you?

Hiring your own contractor can be tedious and costly.  Let our builder work with you to create the perfect home, and we will have it done before you move in!

Call today to visit our sales center.  We are open daily from 10:00 am- 5:00pm.  We are officially in close out mode with approximately 20 homes available.  This will be the final opportunity to purchase a custom Solara Loft directly from the builder at Builder Close Out Prices!  We look forward to seeing you soon!

Heritage Security was just hired on to Solara Lofts to provide a higher level of security to compliment the community’s luxurious appeal…

Heritage Security Services has earned an unsurpassed reputation for excellence in the contract security services industry.  Their standards are some of the highest in the business: 

Officers are recruited on the basis of customer relation skills, appearance, experience and background. All security officer candidates undergo extensive background checks including past employers, military records, criminal records and interviews with references. Each candidate is screened for attitudes toward drug use, theft and dishonesty. Preferred recruiting sources include security training schools, military service, personal referrals and law enforcement agencies.

Professional and friendly security guards monitor and patrol the Solara Lofts Community with the highest level of integrity.  Homeowners enjoy the assurance of a top notch guard who improves the quality of life in the community.  Homeowners often have guests that request parking in Solara’s Guest Parking Spaces and with arrangements with the on-site guard, the guard can grant the guest access into the parking garage or building upon permission of the homeowner.  This is a great convenience eliminating the hassle of physically leaving the comforts of your home!

That’s right, Club Solara features a private racquetball court that is exclusive to its homeowners and their guests!  One of the great features about Solara Lofts is that it is a very intimate community with only 77 total homes, so Club Solara is never crowded, unlike other residential buildings.

 “We love playing racquetball not only because it is a lot of fun, but it is an intense cardio workout that targets muscles that aren’t used in a typical workout.” – Zach Smith, Solara Lofts Homeowner.

Having your own private court in a intimate community is great because you rarely have to wait to play!

The entrance of this custom loft home features a beautiful illuminated glass art piece.

Guests enjoyed beverages and appetizers in the beautiful custom loft home by Skandia. This 1640 square foot K floorplan was “personalized” for the individual home buyer.

Unlike any other new home community in Downtown San Diego, Solara Lofts offers over 20 unique floor plans.  Each can be modified to your lifestyle.

We created walls where there were none; combining a combination of contemporary sliding doors and partial wall soffets to enclose the bedroom areas. This added the elegance and modern flexibility of a loft, with the privacy of a bedroom.

In the Kitchen, we extended the wall space and added a large pantry (shown on the right).

Overall, the house warming party was a hit, and the Solara Sales Team were available to tour interested guests a variety of our model homes being featured in our award winning community.  We encourage you to stop by our showroom located on the corner of 4th avenue and Cedar in the beautiful Cortez Hill neighborhood of Downtown San Diego.  Come and see all the possibilities of a custom home at Solara Lofts!

At Solara Lofts we have included a FLEX plan that has three different design options. The really good news is that these homes can include really well designed furniture provided by SPACE San Diego.    SPACE San Diego is an interior design firm and Multi-Functional Furnishings showroom whose design philosophy is based on five solutions that maximize your living space.

That means that you can pick out a loft you like at Solara Lofts and then work with the professionals at SPACE to create a unique design concept that fits your personal style!
