Smart Corner Wins Award




The Smart Corner project received the Grand Award for the Best Infill Redevelopment Project in the West. This included projects throughout the Western United States and the Pacific Rim.

Congratulations to the entire design team, including: Doug Austin, Pablo Collin, Eduardo Savigliano, Thomas Anielski, Rod MacPherson, Elsa Gaxiola, Armando Ramos, Aidee Arellano, Randi Stellar & Zane Ely.

Smart Corner is a landmark project in downtown San Diego, anchoring the Park to Bay Link and the C Street Corridor Master Plan. The project consists of 301 residential units in a 19-story tower, 90,000 sf of multi-tenant office space in a five-story building, 7,600 sf of street-oriented retail space, and 652 parking spaces (267 for office workers and 385 for residents). The city block that is now home to Smart Corner was once an unsightly jumble of uses, including a thrift store, barber college, tavern and run-down convenience store. The new development is spurring investment in other nearby properties, including two 40-story residential buildings within three blocks of Smart Corner.
