The high-end grocery tenant is set to take over roughly 50,000 square feet of ground-floor and mezzanine space at the base of the 34-story, residential tower, according to a permit application submitted to the city of San Diego in December.
Holland Partner Group’s Front & A high-rise, which is under construction, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and is meant to complement the developer’s nearly finished West apartment and office complex just a block away.

Front & A is described in architectural plans submitted to the city as a 343-foot-tall tower with commercial space and 450 residential units, 19 of which will be deed-restricted for very low-income families making 50 percent or less of the area median income. The building will have 693 parking spaces — 518 spaces reserved for residents and 175 spaces reserved for shoppers — spread across two levels of underground parking and six levels of above-ground, enclosed parking.
