3940 7Th Ave

The Cable Building Lofts are a single-story conversion of a late-20th-century commercial warehouse, transformed into SoHo-style loft residences in 1997. Architecturally rooted in its industrial past, the complex preserves exposed brick, concrete beams, original iron windows and visible mechanical ducts while pairing those bones with vaulted or cathedral ceilings and large, loft-style openings. Units are predominantly two-bedroom-configured lofts and large one-bed plans with mezzanine/loft sleeping areas, open floorplans, high ceilings, and features such as granite counters, track lighting, built-ins, walk-in closets and private balconies or patios. Shared areas include a gated entrance patio, a curated art-filled central courtyard with landscaping, a small private park or grassy yard for residents and pets, and a community garden. Resident conveniences emphasize urban living: secure gated parking with assigned garage spaces and additional storage lockers, bicycle storage, in-unit laundry hookups, and building-provided high-speed internet. The property sits in Hillcrest with immediate walkability to Whole Foods, restaurants, cafés, shops, and is about a mile from Balboa Park; proximity to the 163 provides regional access. The overall feel is creative and residentially intimate — a limited collection of distinctive loft homes within a pedestrian-friendly, amenity-light urban neighborhood.
