Project Description:
The San Diego Downtown Courthouse design-build procurement allowed the owner to receive maximum benefit from a private and public development mix. The project was awarded through a competitive design-build RFP process to the joint venture team of Phelps Development and Lankford & Associates for the land purchase, development, design and construction of the courthouse in accordance with the program requirements.
This new structure incorporates 16 new courts, with consolidated District Attorney functions and Probation/Marshall services. The facility incorporates over 300,000 SF of program space. Three levels of underground parking are also incorporated into the design, as well as retail space on the ground level.
The Courthouse features a mix of space occupied by the County and a leased food court area plus a parking garage. This public/private mix resulted in lowered cost to the County for their court facility through revenue generated by the private lease area.
