Honoring Historic Context

The design of the parking structure pays homage to the valley’s agrarian roots and the historic packinghouse architecture that defines the district.

With complementary detailing and materials, the structure seamlessly integrates into the themed Packing House District complex, ensuring that the new addition enhances rather than overshadows its historic surroundings.

Supporting Growth and Connectivity

By offering over 400 parking spaces, the structure provides essential support for local retail and dining establishments while also serving the growing needs of the new Metrolink Arrow Passenger Rail Service.

Its central location creates convenient connections between transit, commerce, and culture, making downtown Redlands more accessible and inviting for residents, workers, and visitors.
