Quick Answer
Working in University City (UTC)
Yes, University City (UTC) is part of our San Diego service area. Typical projects are courtyard play areas at apartment communities, school play yards, outdoor amenity spaces at office properties and surfacing on podium or rooftop decks. We are not affiliated with UC San Diego.
University City sits in the northwest part of San Diego, roughly in a triangle formed by La Jolla and Interstate 5 to the west, Miramar and Interstate 805 to the east, and North Clairemont and State Route 52 to the south. On denser sites staging space is tight and some amenity areas sit on decks above parking, so both are part of the plan.
