The Minn

oving east from Downtown along Broadway, The Minn stands as a landmark project as you enter the neighborhood of Golden Hill. Two-story townhomes clad in sandy brick define the street level and connect with the scale of the surrounding neighborhood, while a portal overlaid with wood grain cladding and smooth Santa Barbara stucco punctuates the building’s primary entrance and lobby. An elevated courtyard captures surrounding views of the city skyline and Coronado Bridge, while potted citrus trees and edible plants divide the outdoor amenity space into intimate gathering places for the residents. Generous private balconies line the perimeter of the building and double height units with mezzanines and distinctive sloped rooflines cap the top of the project. Through its restrained, natural material palette, The Minn offers reprieve from the busier side of the city while simultaneously acting as a proud, new beacon for the surrounding neighborhood.
