SAN DIEGO—The first phase of West Park, Sudberry Properties' 612-unit apartment neighborhood at Civita, is now open.

Among the notable amenities opening in conjunction with the initial 89 apartments in the non-smoking community are a 22-seat theater with stadium seating and plush, oversize lounge chairs and loveseats, an intimate card/game room called The Vault, roof deck lounges with outdoor TVs, and an indoor/outdoor club room with demonstration kitchen adjoining the beautifully landscaped pool/lounge area.

Upon completion, West Park will feature three saltwater pools with cabanas and TVs, a private park with a half-mile jogging trail and exercise stations, and an approximate 10,000-square-foot fitness club that includes a group exercise room with climbing wall, a fit lounge, juice bar and game room.

In addition to the abundant recreation facilities, West Park will have conveniences like Wi-Fi throughout most common areas and pools, a high-tech, 18-seat conference room, a dog washing station and a bicycle workshop space.

“With West Park, we're setting a new standard of luxury apartment living in San Diego County,” said Marco Sessa, senior vice president of Sudberry Properties, developer of West Park and the surrounding urban village of Civita.

“Our apartments, which range from loft-style studios to three-bedroom, two-bath flats, reflect our determination to fuse style, sustainability and comfort,” Sessa said.

Civita is a new sustainable, transit-oriented village in San Diego's Mission Valley that is transforming a 70-year-old sand and gravel quarry into an urban-style community in a garden setting. To encourage small town spirit and civic pride, Civita is designed around a 20-acre neighborhood park and a lively civic area, with a network of footpaths, bike paths, and vista parks. Plans for the 230-acre property call for up to 4,780 residential homes and apartments in numerous configurations, approximately 480,000 square feet for a lifestyle retail center and 420,000 square feet for an office/business campus. Developed by Sudberry Properties, Civita has already earned major regional and national recognition for its sustainability, smart growth, and environmental leadership, including the 2009 California State Governor's Award for Environmental and Economic Leadership (GEELA), California's highest environmental honor
