Project rendering, The City of San Diego selected Holland Partner Group to redevelop a full-block site at the northwest corner of the intersection of Park Boulevard and Market Street in downtown San Diego. The redevelopment project includes apartments, retail, parking and warm shell space. In June 2017, the UC Regents authorized the campus to purchase approximately 66,000 gross square feet of this warm shell space to create a UC San Diego location at this property. The property has been entitled through the City as part of the larger mixed-use, high-density development and the City is acting as the responsible agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)., The site is strategically located in the heart of downtown San Diego’s East Village neighborhood, clustered with educational institutions as well as firms and entrepreneurs specializing in innovation, technology and the creative arts. The center will become a key intersection where people, ideas and plans that draw on the rich resources of a global research university can come together to address the bigger question: what can San Diego become? The downtown center was designed with a purposeful mix of public, meeting, arts and educational spaces for civic engagement, learning, collaboration, and cultural experiences unlike anywhere else in the region., UC San Diego will convene an unprecedented array of talent and resources, from local to global, at the downtown center, allowing individuals, organizations, students, staff and faculty to build new productive relationships and create opportunities to improve our community—economically, culturally, socially and for the greater civic good. The shell building includes underground parking, storage, a grand spiral staircase, offices, computer lab, classrooms, dance/yoga studio, theater space, critical listening room, bistro café and LED video wall and is a LEED Silver certified project featuring a green roof.
