About 2209 Cliff Drive
Best development opportunity on the market in Newport Beach. Set high on the cliff with straight-on ocean and harbor views, this is the kind of vantage point that almost never comes available. No angles, no peeking through rooftops, just wide-open water, boats moving through the harbor, and clear-day views all the way to Catalina Island. The two existing structures are a teardown, which is exactly where the opportunity lives. You’re starting clean on one of the most valuable view lots in the area, surrounded by new high-end builds pushing values higher. Build up and you unlock multiple levels of unobstructed ocean and harbor views, plus a front-row seat to the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Opportunities with this kind of view, positioning and future value rarely hit the market and are gone quickly.
