An Exclusive Look at The Cove Residences – Cerritos’ New Luxury Oceanfront Condos
Can you tell us about your upcoming development, The Cove Residences, and its current stage of progress?
This new luxury project is located just south of our current community, The Cove at Cerritos. We are developing four luxury condominiums, one of which is already reserved. They are right on the ocean and have forever views, meaning their location guarantees ocean views will not be blocked.
Each unit will offer approximately 2,400 square feet of air-conditioned space, including a private pool, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, and living area. The design focuses on privacy, tranquility, and relaxation. The condos are a stand-alone oasis providing a full-height living experience in Cerritos. All units will be sold fully furnished and turnkey.
We are in the final stages of securing construction licenses and preparing renderings, and marketing will begin in the coming weeks.
Construction Timeline for The Cove Residences
What is the construction timeline?
After breaking ground early in 2025, construction is expected to take about 18 months, with completion projected by mid-2026. As always, timelines can be influenced by factors such as weather or government processes.
Creating a Private and Tranquil Atmosphere in Luxury Oceanfront Condos
What is the overall atmosphere and vibe you want to create for this community?
Privacy is essential for this development. These condos are ideal for those seeking a luxurious and secure space to relax, entertain, and spend quality time with family and friends.
Each residence is self-contained and includes private amenities such as a pool and fire pit, creating a tranquil retreat while still offering the opportunity to connect with others in the area. You are just a stone’s throw away from Cerritos’s action, yet far enough to ensure tranquility and a sense of refuge in an enclosed setting.
Architectural Design and Inspiration for The Cove Residences
Could you share some details about the architectural and design approach?
The design is inspired by a modern beach aesthetic, with clean lines and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. Think of it as a contemporary Malibu style tailored to Cerritos’s unique character.
We also found it essential to work with the natural landscape. Instead of flattening the natural topography, the residences follow the contours of the land, creating unique levels for added privacy.
The Ideal Buyer for These Luxury Oceanfront Condos
Who is the ideal buyer for this development?
Our target buyers are those looking for high-end, luxurious oceanfront properties in a serene Baja environment. Many of our current clients at the Cove at Cerritos either already own in Cabo and seek a quieter lifestyle or are new to Baja Sur and appreciate the simplicity Cerritos offers. Many of them are drawn to the lifestyle in Cerritos, which includes world-class surfing. These buyers value quality, privacy, and a strong return on investment.
The Cove Residences’ Role in Cerritos’ Growing Real Estate Market
How does this development fit within the larger Cerritos community?
Cerritos and its neighboring communities, like Todos Santos and Pescadero, are evolving rapidly. Demand for upscale properties like ours is increasing, and the supply needs to catch up. This area offers a calmer pace compared to Cabo San Lucas. Our development will deliver a luxurious lifestyle, at par or superior to the best constructions you can find in Cabo but at a fraction of Cabo’s prices. We’re seeing inquiries from a mix of seasoned Cerritos enthusiasts and newcomers falling in love with the area.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Practices in Luxury Oceanfront Developments
What sustainability practices are being incorporated into the project?
Sustainability is a core focus. Our new project and The Cove at Cerritos include water treatment systems to recycle water efficiently, a vital consideration given the region’s limited resources. We’re also committed to recycling and are exploring composting options to minimize waste.
We aim to maintain the area’s natural beauty and integrity as a community. This area is developing fast, and the government only sometimes provides services at a corresponding rate, so it is up to the community to set the culture and standards to conserve the natural beauty surrounding us. We strive to introduce elements like residue recycling and water treatment.
Overcoming Development Challenges in Cerritos
What challenges have you faced as a developer in Cerritos, and how do you address them?
One of the main challenges is securing a reliable workforce. We overcome this by paying workers on time and ensuring steady cash flow for materials and supplies. Planning ahead and prepaying for key components like appliances has been crucial in avoiding delays.
Why Cerritos is the Ideal Location to Invest in Luxury Oceanfront Condos
Why should buyers consider investing in Cerritos now?
Cerritos is at a tipping point of growth, making it an excellent investment opportunity. Comparable properties here are more affordable than similar options in Cabo, and we’ve seen incredible returns on our existing projects—some owners have tripled their investments. Several real estate experts are bullish on the market in Cerritos and its neighboring communities, and now is a fantastic time to get in.
