It is centrally positioned in a high-visibility location on Pacific Avenue downtown Santa Cruz, just five minutes walking distance to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The outdoor promenade provides a charming, inviting atmosphere that has successfully attracted well-known retailers and major businesses.
Retail stores and a restaurant occupy the first floor, the second and third floors are offices and classrooms, and 52 residential units comprise the fourth and fifth floors.
