Brickhouse North Park
North Park // 72-unit Infill Housing Under Construction in North Park
Brickhouse, known during development at 4080 32nd Street, is an under construction 72-unit apartment building taking shape in North Park. The six-story structure — five levels of housing over a single story of parking — rises from a compact urban lot, the kind of infill site that quietly absorbs density without announcing itself.
Designed by San Diego-based Coastal Form Architects, the project is being developed by Dallas-based alternative investment manager Civitas Capital Group. The project is using funding through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program — a financing structure that allows foreign investors to place capital into U.S. developments that create jobs. In a moment when traditional lending has tightened and many California projects stall somewhere between entitlement and construction, that alternative capital is important.
Civitas closed on the site in September 2024 and broke ground less than a month later — a timeline that feels almost unreal by San Diego standards. The speed to shovels is partly procedural. The site sits within a transit** **priority area and an opportunity zone, and qualifies for increased density under San Diego’s Complete Communities program. That framework allows the 72 units to be built, streamlining approvals and setting an anticipated construction timeline of approximately 36 months.
At roughly 14,000 square feet, the site is modest in size but well positioned — within walking distance of North Park’s restaurants, nightlife, parks, and everyday amenities, with easy access to regional freeways. It’s not a project meant to redefine the neighborhood, but rather quietly add housing where demand has outpaced supply for years, one infill site at a time.
