Work has been completed on a new, 132.4k sf six-story mixed-use structure in San Ysidro for Baja-Mex Insurance Services. The visually striking building was built by C.W. Driver Companies and includes a parking structure along with 11.5k sf ground floor retail space. It was designed by Sillman Architects.
The building offers 349 parking spaces and includes six Zero Emissions parking spots for charging electric and hybrid vehicles (in the form of two dual and two single charging station installations). There is infrastructure in place to provide 29 more charging spaces in the future. The Type-I concrete and steel structure also boasts sustainable features, including a 75-panel, 25KW solar array on the roof to harvest solar power.
Situated less than nine miles from the beach, ocean breezes enter the structure from openings on the west and south to increase air flow, while on the north and east sides there are large decorative screens to reduce solar heat from entering. Those façades feature local art and advertisements.
Located at 4575 Camino De La Plaza, the expansive structure will provide new ground level retail stores (accessible from Virginia Ave and Camino de la Plaza) as well as being near to shops at Plaza Palmero and Las Americas Premium Outlets, which enjoy thousands of shoppers every year. The development is anchored by property owner Baja-Mex Insurance Services, offering convenient currency exchange and traveler’s insurance at the U.S.-Mexico border.
