Contessa at Otay Ranch is a 108-unit, transit-oriented mixed use residential community. It has live-work units and retail shops located in Village Six of the Otay Ranch master planned community. The site is located next to a South Bay Rapid Transit Station allowing for short commutes to downtown San Diego for its residents.
Project Challenge/Solution
The buildings had to maintain ADA access along the frontage street and was very challenging due to the substantial vertical drop across the site.
H&A’s solution was to use the central plaza to absorb the vertical drop across the site.
Interesting Features
The central plaza of the community opens up to a public park.
