San Diego, California, USA
Located on a 3.5-acre triangular-shaped site, the Park 12 – Ballpark Village Parcel C, designed by Carrier Johnson + CULTURE for Greystar Real Estate Partners, is a master-planned, mixed-use community featuring luxury apartments, retail, restaurants, below-grade parking, and pedestrian plazas.
Park 12 – Ballpark Village Parcel C has recently been awarded a 2022 International Architecture Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Adjacent to San Diego’s premier baseball park and home to MLB team San Diego Padres—this mixed-use residential development is trifurcated with mews into three distinct blocks with interconnecting elements that bring in the energy of the urban core with a neighborhood feel.
Each block is inspired by a unique aspect of the East Village community, expressed through building mass and materials, complemented by an interwoven tapestry of landscaping and hardscaping that form an experiential passage as pedestrians traverse the mews.
From the semicircular public plaza encircled by ground-level retail and restaurants that anchor the project, to its residential community comprising a 37-story residential tower and two mid-rise residential (6 and 7 stories) buildings with ground-level live-work units, everything in this development is designed for diverse and lively forum for the community.
A pair of elevated bridges stretching 2,500 feet offers residents convenient access to amenity spaces in the tower and mid-rise buildings.
A grand cascading stairway makes a dramatic statement at the project’s Imperial Avenue entrance, punctuated by an architectural element of sculptural arced metal, floating above with an aperture that frames a view of the Central Library.
The stairway and mews are designed to offer fans and residents alike direct access to Petco Park for San Diego Padres baseball games and other special events, becoming an integrated part of the game-day experience.
The property’s three buildings are designed to optimize views of the city and bay as well as maximize usable square footage on the challenging site.
The new development offers depth and diversity with nearly one million gross square feet of programmatic capacity, 718 residential units, 45,000 square feet of ground-level retail, and three levels of belowground parking for 1,216 cars.
The project offers a variety of price points and unit types including studio, one, two, and three bedroom floor plans, as well as penthouse suites, with square footage spanning from 518 to 2,824 square feet.
There are 23 units that are designated for affordable housing and are indistinguishable from the market-rate units.
