1050 Island Ave

M2i is a low-rise, single-story loft-style condominium complex built in 2005 in San Diego’s East Village/Ballpark District. The property emphasizes industrial-modern loft architecture: exposed concrete ceilings and walls, large metal-framed floor-to-ceiling windows, and open-plan layouts that accommodate studio and one-bedroom configurations as well as larger built-out lofts. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings (often 11–15 feet), hardwood or vinyl plank floors, granite or stone countertops, stainless-steel appliances, in-unit laundry, walk-in closets, and private balconies or sizeable patios that look over an interior courtyard. Common areas include two distinct lobby entrances, a landscaped central courtyard with tropical plantings, a fully equipped fitness center, and a seventh-floor rooftop terrace with barbecues and a fireplace/firepit for socializing and city views. Parking is provided in secure underground garage spaces (tandem or side-by-side depending on unit) with additional private storage available for some units. HOA dues are described as moderate. The building’s location places residents a block or two from Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, transit options and downtown dining, making it convenient for walkable urban living. Management presence and on-site maintenance are noted, and the community is pet- and commuter-friendly by virtue of its neighborhood setting and amenities.
