CABRILLO TOWER

Naming Cabrillo Tower

Originally, when this first Coronado Shores Tower went on sale in 1970, it was referred to as building Number One. There wasn’t a problem until the second building went on sale. Cabrillo, Building Number One, was on Lot Three and was described as Type IIA. The second tower was on Lot Two and was referred to as Type IA. Subsequently, the homeowners in building One selected the name Cabrillo Tower after Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, who’s ship landed at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542 – this first building is a true commemoration to the history of San Diego and representative of its beauty.

Additionally, it is an indicator of the gorgeous Cabrillo National Park on the Southern tip of Point Loma, seen just across the Pacific Ocean/San Diego Bay from the Shores of Coronado. (See photo of Point Loma Peninsula below)

The Shores buildings are designated by the different vertical stacks. Each unit in a stack was originally built with the exact same layout, square footage, # of Bedrooms/Bathrooms and the same view, the only difference is they are on different floors. Ex: Cabrillo #709 & #1509 are both in the ’09’ stack. See the table below for information on Cabrillo’s units organized by ‘Stack’.

The building is conveniently located next to the Cabrillo Pool and the Roeder Pavilion/Lawn.
