Simone Little Italy

Simone is a 36-story, 612,579 SF mixed-use residential tower, and upon its 2023 completion, the tallest building in downtown San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. Simone’s polished figure enhances the city's expanding skyline while its program reaches new heights as a vibrant, sustainable, and connected community. LEED Gold® BD+C certified, Simone is designed to deliver eco-and-pet-friendly housing near existing and planned job centers. Added offerings include spectacular city and bay views, easy access to high quality transit, and a plethora of restaurant, retail, and gallery options mere moments away on foot.


Perched atop a five-story podium, the 405’ tower presents contemporary elegance with exposed concrete, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and architectural projections and offsets augmenting its rectangular form. Simone’s 27,600 SF site is less than half of a typical city block, yet within its small footprint the tower contains 395 market rate and affordable studios, one, and two-bedroom apartments with five penthouses. More than 18,700 SF of indoor and outdoor amenity spaces include 16,600 SF of common outdoor decks equipped with living rooms, chef’s kitchen, and dining areas: a state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio. The tower is topped with a tiered, two-story sky lounge and pool deck with zero-edge pool and spa.


Simone provides three levels of underground parking, and 4½ levels of parking in an above-grade podium, with the first level split between parking and a mixed-use residential lobby and leasing offices, a lux mailroom and package center, lounge spaces and co-working office spaces.  The parking structure is concealed with cladding comprised of black metal panel and a combination of perforated and translucent screens, that when illuminated at night, creates a soft glow from inside the building along the streetscape.
