About This Property

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.

Welcome to 2209 Cliff Drive, a rare offering along one of Newport Beach’s most exclusive and tightly held stretches of Cliff Drive. Elevated above PCH and defined by privacy, outlook, and long-term scarcity, this property presents an exceptional opportunity to reimagine a premier coastal site in a location that rarely trades. Offered with an existing structure and accompanying new construction plans, the property provides a compelling pathway for a future owner to create a design-forward residence that fully capitalizes on its commanding position and remarkable setting. The site benefits from elevated sightlines, separation from roadway activity, and a setting that is materially more private and visually protected than nearby locations along Kings Road or Kings Place. Conceptual plans envision a substantial, architecturally significant home tailored to the scale and character appropriate for this stretch of Cliff Drive. The position of the lot, combined with its setback from PCH and surrounding context, allows for a level of privacy, quiet, and outlook that is increasingly difficult to replicate in Newport Beach. This segment of Cliff Drive is extraordinarily limited, with very few opportunities for true ground-up redevelopment at this caliber. The combination of location, elevation, scarcity, and future potential makes 2209 Cliff Drive a compelling opportunity for a buyer seeking to create a legacy residence or pursue a high-quality development in one of the city’s most structurally constrained residential corridors. Plans are available for review. Buyer to independently verify all development potential, square footage, approvals, and timelines with the appropriate professionals and governing agencies.
