The Block in Downtown San Diego to Contain Up to 720k sf

5/05/15

San Diego-based real estate development and investment company Zephyr has named Joseph Wong, FAIA, of Joseph Wong Design Associates the lead architect for The Block, a 60k sf site on Broadway between 7th Ave and 8th Ave.

Wong will be overseeing the design of The Block, a mixed-use residential development that will include 41-floor and 21-floor towers. Zoning of the site allows for development up to 720k sf.

Zephyr acquired the community last June in an off-market deal. It will be the city’s first high-rise, mixed-use project since the recession. The company estimates the cost to complete the project will exceed $250 mil, making it one of the largest currently planned for the downtown core.

“This project will add vitality to the city core, enhancing the downtown community and serving as an iconic place in the heart of San Diego” said Wong, who has been at the forefront of global architectural and interior design for nearly 40 years. “Based on the impact it will have on downtown, this is a milestone project for us.”

Founded in San Diego in 1977, Joseph Wong Design Associates has planned and designed major buildings throughout California and in most major cities in Asia. Some of its notable projects in San Diego include Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, Hotel Indigo, San Diego Convention Center Sails Pavilion Enclosure and the San Diego North Embarcadero Visionary Plan.

The Block aims to attract new residents to downtown and expand the walkability experience for Gaslamp visitors, also giving them additional retail, dining and shopping options.
