Civita: A mixed-use community in San Diego, CA
Spread across more than 230 acres in San Diego’s Mission Valley, Civita is a high-density urban village where drought resilience and smart-water strategies have helped attract homeowners and commercial tenants while thoughtfully managing a limited resource. Aside from all the awards received, Civita has been designated as a California Catalyst Community, a program sponsored by the California Department of Housing and Community Development to support innovation and test sustainable strategies that reflect the interdependence of environmental, economic, and community health.
