Bridge Housing has completed work on Kettner Crossing, a $30 mil, affordable housing complex in downtown San Diego. The urban infill project will provide 64 units to seniors that earn between 30-60% of Area Median Income (AMI).
The eight-story housing complex, located at 1590 Kettner Blvd, one block east of Pacific Hwy, was built by R.D. Olson Construction. It features four stories of structural Type I concrete podium and an additional upper four levels of Type V wood-frame construction. Kettner Crossing also includes a subterranean basement for parking, which was created through below-grade construction with the incorporation of 84 caissons for durable support.
The 73.4k sf project will provide a range of floorplans including six studio units, 55 1-bedroom, and three 2-bedroom apartments. It will also offer 2.2k sf of commercial office space available for leasing. Amenities on Kettner Crossing consist of a rooftop overlooking the North San Diego Bay, an open-air turf space, a communal room and library.
The project took two years to complete. Notable partners aside from the County of San Diego include Bridge Housing (developer), JLL (construction manager), and Fusco (civil engineer).
The development boasts a mixture of construction types typically not seen within one structure. The project was constructed in a tight zero lot line as the adjacent parking structure is located only 20 inches away. This allowed R.D. Olson to implement methodical processes to build the project without surrounding land available. The construction firm used a tower crane to move materials vertically and followed tight site logistics to carefully plan each delivery and construction sequence to avoid conflict as the adjacent garage was in use.
