DANA POINT, CA—Located on a FEMA flood plain, which added a layer of oversight, South Cove‘s major challenge was maximizing views to the ocean from as many units as possible on an infill site, adjacent to industrial, KTGY Architecture + Planning principal David Obitz tells GlobeSt.com. As we reported in August, South Cove is a luxury residential community here developed by Zephyr, offering unique amenities to its residents, and KTGY was instrumental in its design.

South Cove is also Dana Point’s first new for-sale residential development to open in decades. The property is a barefoot community in a coastal setting at the southern gateway of Dana Point at 34202 Del Obispo St. The community features a mix of 168 one-, two- and three-story flats, townhomes and twin homes, ranging from 883 square feet to 2,126 square feet.
