CHULA VISTA, CALIF. — SCA Architecture (formerly known as Smith Consulting Architects), a San Diego-based architectural firm, has completed the planning, design and construction of a repositioning at Gateway Marketplace, located at Fourth Avenue and C Street in Chula Vista.
Brixton Capital is the developer of the $9.3 million remodeling project. Situated on an 8.8-acre lot, the project consisted of renovating an abandoned Target building in an existing neighborhood. The former Target store was divided into three tenant spaces. The front of the building was set back ten feet to allow for new, distinct tenant entries. Quick-serve grocery store and restaurant spaces were added to the center as well.
Updated architecture and color schemes were used to update the center’s look. The existing site was enhanced with new landscaping, lighting, pedestrian walkways and a new gateway plaza.
New tenants at the center include Party City, Smart & Final, Hobby Lobby and Aldi. AT&T, Little Caesar’s Pizza, Pho Hung Cali, iNails & Spa and other tenants are slated to open later this year.
Scott Cairns served as principal-in-charge for SCA Architecture, with Norman Barrett as project designer and Dennis Seguban serving as project manager.
Consultants included GSSI Structural Engineers as structural engineer, K&S Engineering as civil engineer, Electrical Design as electrical engineer, Abbott Engineering as mechanical engineer, Geocon as geotechnical engineer and De Alcala Studio as landscape architect. Dempsey Construction served as the general contractor, with Merion Corp. acting as construction manager.
