Located in the heart of Tijuana, BAJALTA is a new concept for urban living and will provide a much needed open space for a better quality of life for residents and visitors. It aims to provide a new architectural expression that integrates commercial retail spaces with public spaces; combines office building and hotel; creates housing opportunities with unique views and unparalleled convenience. The project’s most iconic parcel—at the intersection of the area’s most prominent streets—proposes a space that celebrates culture and education within a unique building. The Manzanita, or little block, actively engages the urban context. As the gateway to Bajalta, it creates a dynamic new place within the social and cultural spheres of Tijuana. In Bajalta, the characteristic push-and-pull of the border culture takes on new life. This energy is the inspiration for what Tijuana can offer the world and is adopted as a new attitude toward high-density development. It aims to demonstrate that mixed-use development can provide a unique balance between image and lifestyle, and it generates high value by ensuring that the sum total is greater than the individual parts.
