It also features an adjoining low-rise building, which is known as ‘The Sliver’.
Completion of the 422,793ft² project is scheduled for early 2020.
The Richman Group of California president Luke Daniels said: “The site’s spectacular location, across the street from the Central Library and along the Bay-to-Park Link that joins San Diego Bay with Balboa Park, deserves an iconic project that complements the library and encourages public engagement.
“K1 will be a Richman Signature Property, which combines first-class service, extensive amenities, and high-style architecture with a 30-day ‘Love It’ guarantee, 24/7 warranty response and individual design services.”
