Vantage Pointe Condominium is a high-rise building in San Diego. Bounded by Eighth and Ninth Avenues, and A and B Streets, construction began in 2006 and ended in 2008. It is Downtown San Diego's largest condominium building.[1] In 2009 the building's owners announced they will refund all the purchase deposits made for its units.[2][3][4]
Architect critics have criticized the building's lack of "human-scale relationship at street level," thus earning it the "Grand Onion" award by the San Diego Architectural Foundation.[5]
