We look forward to Whole Foods serving as a neighborhood amenity and furthering the growing connection between the western and central districts of downtown.”īounded by Union, West A, Front and West B streets, Front & A takes up one of three blocks that Vancouver, Wash.-based Holland Partner Group and its partner Japanese builder North America Sekisui House acquired from the county in June 2019 after winning a bid to redevelop the former San Diego County Courthouse property. “The redevelopment vision for these blocks is to create a true mixed-use village that supports an ecosystem of residential, office and dining options, serving not just our residents and office tenants, but energizing downtown as a whole. Our downtown has long demanded more of this important retail and the neighborhood will greatly benefit from the activation this use provides,” said Brent Schertzer, an executive with Holland. “We are thrilled to be bringing Whole Foods as a much-needed, new high-end full-service grocery option to downtown San Diego. Holland Partner Group’s Front & A high-rise, which is under construction, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and is meant to complement the developer’s nearly finished West apartment and office complex just a block away.
