The European-style Piazza anchors the Little Italy development which includes 125 apartment homes at Vici and Amo, the Little Italy Food Hall, Frost Me Café and Bakery, and 16,000sf of additional retail space, and hosts two weekly farmer’s markets.

“H.G. Fenton has been providing quality places for San Diegan’s to live and work for more than a century, and we are proud of the lifestyle opportunity and community-enhancing amenities our team has created through the Piazza della Famiglia project,” said Fenton CEO Mike Neal. “Our team is honored to receive the 2018 Create the Vibe Alonzo Award in recognition of the alluring and vibrant vibe created. We really enjoyed the opportunity to partner with the Little Italy Association based on our shared vision to transform a humble street into a community destination with a magical atmosphere that is simply unmatched in the region.”

“From local farmers markets to concerts and cultural events, the Piazza della Famiglia is a place for everyone,” said Betsy Brennan, President and CEO of the San Diego Downtown Partnership. “It’s a space that brings the community of Little Italy together and creates a vibe unlike any other.”
