We at Studio E are happy to relay the news that 9th & Broadway – a high-rise, 250-unit affordable housing tower currently being designed for BRIDGE Housing – has been granted an Award of Merit in the 49th-annual Gold Nugget Awards for category 18, “Best On-the-Boards Mixed-Use Project”.
9th & Broadway - looking south on 9th Avenue
9th and Broadway will add affordable service-worker housing and ground-level commercial to the eastern Broadway corridor of downtown San Diego. The design imagines an urban residential type wholly-influenced by San Diego’s unique climate and setting. Lofty, efficient-yet-sophisticated residences – with tall ceilings, large operable windows, and efficient, well-equipped kitchens – have views to the San Diego Bay or downtown skyline. Residents have access to landscaped terraces, trellised roof decks and garden courts. The building will be a model of sustainable design – the project team is aiming for LEED Silver – in an urban setting: incorporating such features as roof gardens, photovoltaic panels and naturally-ventilated corridors.
