The project is part of the university's Mission Valley campus that includes 4,600 housing units.
San Diego State University is building 250 apartments for seniors, including 26 memory care units, as part of an initiative to "serve our intergenerational SDSU community" at their Mission Valley campus, according to SDSU President Adela de la Torre.
According to an article in the Mission Times Courier by Drew Sitton, "In addition to apartments, the project includes a restaurant and bistro, a community room, a fitness center, a rooftop deck, a pool and an outdoor courtyard." If approved by the California State University Board of Trustees, construction could begin in 2027.
Sitton adds that "The older adults will have access to campus programming and lifelong learning opportunities. Plus, they will be living in an intellectually stimulating environment in a walkable neighborhood with transit and other amenities."
Editor's note: This article was updated on August 13 to clarify that the project is being built at the SDSU Mission Valley campus, not its main campus.
