The type II-B concrete structures will share a subterranean parking garage totaling 137,900 square feet. In addition to building the shell and core, the project includes significant site improvements and cutting-edge sustainable features such as a green roof, rooftop patio, built-in photovoltaic cell canopy, and enhanced circulation to the surrounding Torrey Pines Science Park.
