Mixed-Use, Multifamily Residential
Awarded Multifamily Community of the Year by the PCBC Gold Nugget Awards, the Builder's Institute of America's Icon Awards, and other honors, Simone is a 36-story mixed-use residential tower, and currently the tallest building, in downtown San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood.
Simone’s glazed façade and stunning rooftop spaces enhance downtown San Diego’s evolving skyline, as its programming sets a new standard for vibrant, sustainable, and connected community living. Its 27,600 SF site is less than half of a typical city block, yet within that footprint the tower contains 395 market rate and affordable apartments, and five penthouses, with more than 18,700 SF of indoor and outdoor amenity spaces. Simone is LEED BD+C Gold certified, and strategically sited near current and future job centers. Residents enjoy stunning city and bay views, convenient access to high quality transit, and a variety of restaurants, retail, and cultural attractions a just steps away.
