The Grande at Santa Fe Place, Residential skyscraper in Core district, San Diego, United States
The Grande at Santa Fe Place consists of two matching residential towers rising 39 stories each in downtown San Diego's core district. Together, the structures shape the local skyline and serve as a defining element of the neighborhood's modern architecture.
The South Tower construction began in April 2002 and finished in 2004, while the North Tower was built from 2003 to 2005. The two-phase project represented significant residential development in downtown San Diego during the early 2000s.
The name comes from the Santa Fe Place location in the Core district, where the towers stand beside the Santa Fe Depot rail station area. Each tower holds 221 residential units, so the complex is lived in rather than visited; the two towers are tied with Vantage Pointe Condominium as San Diego's tenth-tallest buildings.
The complex stands in the Core district of downtown San Diego, at the coordinates 32.71778, -117.17056, near the Santa Fe Depot rail and transit hub. Both towers hold 221 residential units each, and the South Tower was finished in 2004, the North Tower in 2005. The building is residential, so interior access is for residents and their guests.
The building shares the position of tenth tallest structure in San Diego with Vantage Pointe Condominium. This tie in ranking makes it a rare example of two buildings holding identical height status in the city's skyline.
