This upcoming transit-oriented multifamily project in Bankers Hill will bring 38 new residential units to 2629 Columbia Street, replacing an existing three-unit multifamily building on the site.
Designed and developed by Kenihan Development, Promontory will rise four stories and include a 436-square-foot instructional studio space. The project sits roughly a seven-minute walk from Middletown Station, while also providing residents with convenient access to the new State Street bike lanes and the surrounding network of neighborhood streets and bicycle infrastructure.
The project is located on a roughly 10,300 square foot lot, and is currently occupied by a small multifamily building dating back to 1945. The property is zoned RM-2-5 and has also undergone a City of San Diego preliminary review for potential historical significance.

At 38 units, Promontory represents a significant increase in housing on a relatively small urban site. Rather than expanding into a new area, the project is taking an existing multifamily property and increasing its residential capacity in one of San Diego's established central neighborhoods.
Like many other recent housing projects in the Banker’s Hill area, Promontory utilizes San Diego's Complete Communities Housing Solutions program. Its location near Middletown Station and the evolving State Street bicycle network also nicely positions the project within a larger neighborhood-wide shift toward building more housing around existing transit and multimodal infrastructure.
