Architecture
The project was designed by the local Espazio architectural Group led by Arq. Jorge Gutierrez in association with Estrategias Urbanas consulting represented by Arq. Hector Osuna Jaime. New City was designed with the idea of creating a setting of comfort for the surrounding San Diego-Tijuana populace. It was also designed to appeal to most people and features a modern and unique look.[1]
Design
The buildings are surrounded by a tall concrete wall and maintain gated access. The towers facade material consists of concrete and the buildings have a curtain wall facade style.[2] The style of building is postmodern and thus contemporary.[2]
