Facing the projected population of the future, East village is positioning itself to become the rebirth of “City Living” within the downtown
district of San Diego. Building upon East Villages’ lack of identity provides an opportunity to create a community environment mixed with
social, economical and academic relations while maintaining residential needs. The recent revitalization of the southern end of East Village provides a catalyst for future and present demographic trends
within the area to build upon. The proposed site design will blend
East Village within downtown San Diego for future generations.

Incorporating Environmental Practices
To combat potential risks associated with global changes, San Diego has employed strategies
that protect the landscape and the people living
within it. Villa del Este will capitalize on the opportunities of redevelopment by building upon
a lifestyle formed by and around the environment. Native plants, permeable paving and grey
water use will be deployed in the public areas
while many residential and commercial buildings
will be constructed with environmental features.
