Broadstone Makers Quarter is a mixed-use apartment community in downtown San Diego’s East Village. As part of the developing I.D.E.A. (Innovation/Design/Education/Arts) District, the project aligns seamlessly with the vision of a hub for local entrepreneurs, artists, students, and residents by providing retail and office spaces and high-density housing. Designed to be a central neighborhood gathering place, the 395,746 SF project contains 265 studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments, with multi-level penthouse residences and townhomes, ground floor retail and parking, and a multitude of work and recreational spaces designed to accommodate the many offered services intended to foster a sense of growing and learning.

Exterior textured concrete finishes, structured glazing, and metal claddings of iron, steel, and aluminum are complemented by the clean and contemporary industrial vibe of its interior. The S-shaped design of the 7-story structure forms two central courtyards and indoor/outdoor amenity areas including including a zero-edge pool, fitness lounge, yoga/cycling studio, bike repair shop, DIY room, mobile tech and worktables, gardens, grills, workspaces, and more.

BMQ’s exterior wall assembly alleviates noise pollution with high Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings. Stormwater runoff and drainage are addressed with a combination of bio-filtration planters and modular wetlands, and 80% of the rooftop is equipped with photovoltaic panels to support the energy needs of the building. Expansive streetscapes along its intersection encourage pedestrian and bicycle uses. 

Makers Quarter’s ideal location offers a neighborhood feel and culture of community, central to the trendiest neighborhoods, best attractions, and most convenient transit. Moments from Interstates 163, 5, and 94, as well as the Metropolitan Transit System’s (MTS) Rapid bus line, commuter rail lines, and Trolley systems.
