A bold, blushing exterior, gracefully curving walls of windows, intricate tilework and delicate décor—Nakhshab Development & Design’s latest mixed-use property combines elements of retro glam (think French art deco) and tropical modernism (a la the calming pinks and greens of the Beverly Hills Hotel). Replacing an existing run-down one-story strip mall, Soheil Nakhshab introduced an eight-story showstopper to infuse Mission Hills with fresh, vibrant architecture and exciting new hospitality concepts.

The Sasan offers 53 studio floorplans across six floors, plus ground floor and rooftop commercial spaces. Each microunit features floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony that offers stunning San Diego views in all directions. Within walking distance (.5 miles or less), the neighborhood offers ample access to public transportation and bike lanes, plus numerous amenities such as markets and grocers, restaurants and bars, health and fitness clubs, a public library, financial institutions, and a popular public park.

By incorporating LEED housing developments in urban cores with numerous options for entertainment, shopping, and transportation, Nakhshab is building to reduce carbon emissions. As a bonus, 52 out of 53 of the units are currently renting for below 120% AMI, making them an affordable and attainable option for many demographics.

  1. One of the ugliest pieces of architecture I’ve seen. Is this South Beach? How did such a monstrosity get approved I would like to know.

    You’d think I was an old crank, but I’m a designer with 35 years of experience. And all the neighbors share the same opinion. They’re calling it “Todd Gloria’s Pink Folly”.
