Developed by Urban Villages, LLC, the Quad is the first project in the University District (North City) Master Plan. This mixed-use student housing project is located directly across the street from California State University- San Marcos and will be the seed for future development in the area. The 5-story, 173,000 square foot building, which was designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, includes 520 student beds, 7,000 square feet of academic, student life, and event spaces, and 12,000 square feet of retail/commercial space oriented along the street. Functions are organized around a series of outdoor spaces, including a large central courtyard and pool, a large second floor terrace, and
an outdoor circulation system.
