Downtown San Diego: Luxurious Lifestyles in The Mark

Does a luxury Downtown San Diego lifestyle appeal to you?  Then The Mark may be the perfect building for your residence.  The Mark is located in East Village and the location is conducive to walking to Petco Park, the Gaslamp and Marina districts.

The Mark is a true high rise with 33 stories and 244 luxury residences.  One of the advantages to living at The Mark is the grass park located in the center of the complex. That may seem an odd comment, but grass is at a premium in Downtown San Diego so this is one amenity that is unique.  Privacy is cherished at The Mark and the onsite concierge helps preserve a resident's privacy and security. Each building and Downtown San Diego neighborhood offers something new and special.
