Sapphire Tower


1262 Kettner Boulevard

Sapphire Tower is a luxury condo building located in the Columbia District neighborhood of downtown San Diego (92101).  With only 97 units and 32 stories, Sapphire Tower is a very unique luxury high-rise.  Sapphire Tower is located in the perfect spot – easy access to the waterfront, Marina District, and Little Italy.  Views, a great pool, and being close to the Stone Company Store on Kettner and the original Karl Strauss Brewing Company don’t hurt either.
