An exceedingly rare
1.15-acre trophy
development parcel
Conceptual rendering, shown as a continuous day-to-night sequence. Nothing is built — the parcel is vacant land. Watch the full film.
Nestled in the heart of Dana Point — one of Orange County’s most coveted beachfront enclaves. This is a singular opportunity for a visionary buyer seeking to access a high-barrier-to-entry market defined by affluence and perpetual tourism demand.
A meticulously conceived 33-room, three-story luxury boutique hotel with structured parking.
Three forces converging
on one parcel.
Scarcity
Hotel development sites on this stretch of the Orange County coast are effectively unavailable. This is 1.15 contiguous acres across two commercially zoned parcels with white water ocean and panoramic views, and no association.
Entitlement in motion
The site is advancing through the entitlement phase for a 33-room, three-story luxury boutique hotel with structured parking — work already underway rather than a blank sheet.
The harbor
The listing describes the positioning as “further amplified by the $400+ million redevelopment of Dana Point Harbor… ensuring sustained uplift in upscale tourism, retail and hospitality demand.” The program is now publicly reported at over $700 million.
Dana Point Harbor
A massive revitalization project is remaking 66 acres of public waterfront — a rebuilt marina, a new commercial core, a new harbor entrance, and two hotels that have cleared Coastal Commission and Planning Commission review but whose ground leases remain unapproved. Phases 1 and 2 completed in July 2025; Commercial Core demolition began in February 2026; the marina has passed two-thirds completion.
A signature hospitality asset
for a well established market.
