San Miguel Ranch

Perched on a hilltop site at the corner of a busy intersection, with limited access or visibility to the site, the design challenge for the shops at San Miguel was to entice the community up into this Albertson’s anchored neighborhood center. By combining an iconic tower with a generous public plaza at the corner, and Spanish style buildings with details that evoke images of Mediterranean hillside towns, the view from the street encourages the community to come in, stroll the shops and spend time. The shops at San Miguel received a 2007 Beautification Award from the City of Chula Vista for the Best Planning/Urban Design and the Grand Gold Nugget Award as the Best Retail Project of 2008.
