Diego, CA (June 25, 2015) - Lifescapes International, the landscape architectural firm behind iconic landscape designs such as the Fillmore in San Francisco, 8500 and The Grove in Los Angeles, and the recently reinvigorated design at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in downtown San Diego, has been selected by developer Zephyr Partners as the landscape architect for The Block, a new 720,000 square-foot mixed-use, high-rise residential development in the heart of downtown San Diego.

“The Block is unlike any other residential development in the Southern California region,” says Julie Brinkerhoff, President of Lifescapes International. 

“This project goes above and beyond amenity space, incorporating large open and community environments that will drive the owner’s target renter - the Millennial executive.”

The Block is situated on a 60,000 square-foot site, and is planned to feature both a 41-floor and a 21-floor tower. Lifescapes International will design an expansive amenity deck, resort style pool, and transitional gardens, as well as the ground floor streetscape for the project.

“A project of this magnitude calls for truly out-of-the-box thinking that will result in the ultimate resident experience, which is something our firm has proven experience in creating,” says Brinkerhoff.
