Monitoring for University City and the Golden Triangle
University City sits between UC San Diego and the Golden Triangle, a dense cluster of office towers, hotels, apartment high-rises, and the Westfield UTC shopping center. North University City adds research buildings and apartment communities, while the south side is mostly established homes and neighborhood retail.
The trolley's Blue Line extension brought new apartment towers and steady foot traffic, and with them more people moving through garages, lobbies, and transit-adjacent entries. Office and hotel properties in the Golden Triangle, meanwhile, have large parking structures that go quiet at night.
First Watch Monitoring watches those spaces remotely, with coverage hours set for each building and an incident log that managers and owners can review.
