MARKING A NEW CHAPTER
IN THE CITY’S EVOLUTION
A LANDMARK IN SAN DIEGO’S EVOLUTION, PACIFIC GATE MARKS A TURNING POINT IN DOWNTOWN’S CONTINUING TRANSFORMATION
Reflecting the fluid forms of the shoreline, and redefining the city’s skyline, this iconic tower offers breath-taking waterfront and city views, the finest of finishes throughout, and levels of services and amenities expected from a true ‘Super Prime’ development. Pacific Gate leads the way in celebrating the new era that has emerged for Downtown San Diego and heralds the future.
A NEW VISION FOR SAN DIEGO
SEEING THE POTENTIAL OF DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO, NAT BOSA KNEW IT HAD WHAT IT TOOK TO BECOME WORLD-CLASS
Drawing inspiration from the world’s greatest waterfronts, Bosa’s vision and passion has grown from a desire to elevate San Diego to sit alongside these waterfront cities.
“I WANTED TO GIVE SAN DIEGO THE BEST BUILDINGS ON THE WEST COAST, AND I INTEND TO DO THAT.”
Nat Bosa
Founder, Bosa Development
Early freehand pencil sketches by Jamie von Klemperer showing a typical high rise floor plan and building podium floor plan for the definitive Pacific Gate scheme.
Responding to the extraordinary city and waterfront views KPF designed a double-nested curve with rolling facade and scrolling base, evoking the sea and echoing the fluid forms of the horizon.
“THE CURVACEOUS NATURE OF THIS BUILDING RESPONDS TO THE NATURE OF SAN DIEGO – IT EVOKES THE WATER, THE MARINE WORLD, WHAT LIES BEYOND.”
