Golden Hill, San Diego: A new Main Street

Architects Mike Burnett and Craig Abenilla’s futuristic version of Main Street, mxd830, is re-energizing San Diego’s previously overlooked southeast side.

It may be only a building, but the design of mxd830 (short for “mixed use” plus the street address, 830) has nurtured community with a nightly buzz that attracts many and spreads energy down the once-derelict 25th Street corridor.
