With more than 25 distinct categories having been professionally evaluated by distinguished industry professionals, The Shift Apartments Complex was awarded Silver in the ”Best Development and Design of Mixed-Use” design competition. Thank you, Multi-Housing News for the Excellence Award!
The unique and striking design of “Shift” is based on an industrial style that combines a bold, sculptural massing with pitched lines and a façade of rust-colored strips of metal siding, alternating with dark window walls, to create an iconic element that adds vibrancy to the San Diego East Village skyline. The distinctive architectural design is Bohemian in nature, inspired by the East Village neighborhood’s industrial history as seen through the eyes of artist and local legend, Bob Sinclair. This aesthetic style boldly celebrates the legacy of East Village as a community that welcomes and supports the arts and artists, especially those who found the beauty in the neighborhood’s rich history of industry.
