The 527,500 SF structure fully utilizes its nearly half-acre site and contributes a lustrous design to the San Diego skyline. The project includes 389 residential units ranging from studios to 3-bedroom apartments, with 33 units designated as affordable housing. Building amenities include double-height retail spaces and a grand residential lobby at ground level; an expansive outdoor terrace coupled with a fitness room, a yoga studio, a speakeasy with open seating and private dining area, and leasing office on level 6 (on top of the podium); and a sky terrace equipped with a large pool and spa area, a lounge, a game room, and a reading area on level 40. The architecture of 800 Broadway is sleek and modern, using a refined material palette of vision glass and metal panel in white, silver and blue. The design for the podium levels complements the tower massing, and delivers pops of blue to the streetscape. Architectural projections wrap the corners of the podium while continuing the full height of the tower, working together to create a continuous ribbon that accentuates the nearly 440-ft tall structure while embellishing the otherwise floor-to-ceiling glass field of the tower fenestration.

One of the unique features of this site is that this eco-city is a wetland for migrating birds. The dynamic characteristic of the bird and its wings can be seen reflected in the ‘soaring’ aspirations as that of the client- Langjiu Group.

The Headquarters program includes an exhibition hall, restaurant, VIP chambers, chess and card chambers, wine and cigar bar, reading bar, swimming pool and boutiques.
