The Mark, Residential skyscraper in East Village, San Diego, US
The Mark is a 33-story residential skyscraper in East Village, downtown San Diego, rising 381 ft (116 m) with 259 units. It was designed in the postmodern style by Martinez & Cutri Corp. and Shears Adkins Architects, LLC.
Planning and construction started in the mid-2000s as the area was becoming a modern residential zone. Its completion in 2007 marked an important moment for East Village growth as an urban housing area.
The Mark takes its name from a mark or landmark, fitting a tower meant to anchor East Village's redevelopment. Its 33 floors and 259 units made it part of the wave of residential high-rises that turned downtown San Diego's warehouse district into a place where people live, not just visit.
The Mark stands at 381 feet with 33 floors in the East Village district of downtown San Diego. It is a residential building, so the lobby and upper floors are not open to the public; the tower is seen from the street. Petco Park and the downtown core are within walking distance.
The building displays postmodern design features that set it apart from other modern residential blocks in the city. These architectural details become especially visible when viewing the facade from street level.
