SMS Architects partnered with West Hive Capital to transform their recent acquisition in Huntington Beach into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly Lifestyle Center at the community's core. This initiative aims to convert a traditional retail space into an engaging hub that blends indoor and outdoor areas, fostering community interaction and commerce. The design focuses on adaptive reuse, enhanced public spaces, and flexible tenant formats, ensuring long-term sustainability. Hamilton Square covers 18,297 square feet on 1.5 acres, less than a mile from the beach and just minutes from Pacific Coast Highway and the iconic Huntington Beach Pier, in a bustling residential area.
