IDEA1 District: Startup Housing
This project, developed by Lowe Enterprises and slated for completion in 2017, is part of San Diego’s reinvigoration of the East Village community as a design and technology innovation hub. The building will include “Startup Housing” for entrepreneurs, creatives, recent graduates and downtown employees. They’ll have access to co-working space, an exercise room, event kitchen and a large interior social space, plus a clubhouse and rooftop space. To encourage collaboration between inhabitants, retail and restaurants will also be built in, including a craft beer pub, restaurant and shops. The flexible events space is open to the public and will feature a shared café and co-working space that will host meetups, hackathons, panels, presentations, art fairs and more.
