Last year, LPC West broke ground on Aperture Del Mar, a 640,000-square-foot infill development five miles from Torrey Pines Beach. The creative office and life science campus, designed by world-class architecture firm Gensler, features outdoor spaces, dining, an event lawn, walking paths, and an amphitheater. The project is currently under construction and the first phase is expected to be completed in 2021.
