Ideally situated in the heart of Little Italy in downtown San Diego,
601 W. Beech creates a new standard in sustainability and technological innovation for the multi-family market...
FORGE is proud to announce its acquisition of the property located at 601 W. Beech Street. With this acquisition, Forge hopes to perpetuate the workforce history and legacy of the area that is Little Italy. The property was purchased from the Asaro family who have called Little Italy home since the 1940s. Forge plans to redevelop the property into a world class high-rise building providing some 328 rental units of workforce housing for the City of San Diego. Preserving and supporting the working class tradition of the area was a guiding objective in the development of this project.
True to this tradition, this development will be privately-financed and not government subsidized. This project was made possible as the result of initiatives developed and supported by the Office of San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. These initiatives have helped streamline and reduce the construction processes and costs making possible the development of housing for the middle income worker.
San Diego’s Historic Little Italy District is the Oldest Surviving District in the City. . .
Founded in the 1920’s, San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood was once the heart of the tuna canning industry of the west. During the industry’s decline and the construction of the I-5 freeway in the 1970’s, the district was fragmented and began a nearly 30 year decline. In the 1990’s, property and business owners decided to revitalize the district. Today, Little Italy is an energetic neighborhood with exceptional dining, entertainment, and living options.

SUSTAINABILITY & INNOVATION
Mobile systems used is integrated with the internet (IoT) to measure energy consumption in all units and allows management and resident to control energy use remotely.
Integrated heat management systems run on the IoT network reduces the cost of domestic hot water and air conditioning.
Internet of Things (IoT) sensors provide management and resident with control of energy use and unity access; resulting in lower overall energy consumption.
Waste water recycling reduces water consumption by ~40%; solids are exported as fertilizer and liquids are used in the cooling tower.
Automated parking solution that utilizes advanced robotic technology reduces parking emission by 25%.
Innovative building technology and systems managed by IoT reduces energy consumption by 30%.
HVAC system with antimicrobial filters to create a pressurized hypoallergenic air supply; filters out viruses (such as COVID-19), wildfire smoke and air pollution.
