The Lindley

The Lindley is an 800,000-square-foot, LEED® Gold Certified, 37-story mixed-use development located at the intersection of downtown San Diego and Little Italy. One of the largest residential towers in the area, the project integrates luxury multifamily housing, hospitality, and street-oriented retail uses within a single urban destination. Ground-floor retail spaces activate the pedestrian experience and contribute to the vibrant neighborhood character of this rapidly evolving district. Distinguishing it from other multifamily developments, The Lindley incorporates a 60-key boutique hotel alongside its residential program, creating a hospitality-driven living experience. Residential offerings range from studios and one-bedroom units to one-bedroom-plus-den, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom residences, each featuring a private balcony.


The tower rises from a six-story podium containing double-height retail and lobby spaces at street level, structured parking wrapped within the above-grade podium levels, and four additional levels of subterranean parking. Above the podium, a 17,000-square-foot amenity terrace serves as the project's social centerpiece, featuring a resort-style pool and spa, expansive lounge areas, and thoughtfully curated landscape and hardscape environments. Interior amenities further reinforce the hospitality-focused concept, including separate hotel and residential lobbies, co-working and business facilities, conference rooms, club lounges, game and recreation spaces, private reading rooms, a spa parlor with sauna and massage rooms, and extensive indoor and outdoor fitness areas.


The architectural design expresses a contemporary urban aesthetic through a refined palette of metal paneling, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and carefully detailed architectural elements. Vertical aluminum fins create texture and rhythm along the podium façade, while integrated uplighting highlights the building's architectural character after dark. Metal-framed canopies accent the primary entrances and crown the tower, lending visual prominence to the development within San Diego's evolving skyline.
