Dorm for Elite Olympic Athletes, Teams Opens in Chula Vista

Baldwin & Sons opened a new Deeann and Al Baldwin Athlete Residences at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center, a U.S. Olympic and Paralympic training site covering 155 acres. The new two-story, 260-bed dormitory is located near the Otay Ranch master-planned community developed by the Newport Beach, CA-based company.

The new property expands the existing 160-bed training center, which wasn’t meeting the high demand for onsite accommodations. The new building has 30 suites, including a mix of two-bedroom with two-bath and four-bedroom with two-bath options, providing a total of 100 additional beds. About half of all units are ADA-accessible, to accommodate para-athletes training at the campus.

Chula Vista Deputy City Manager Kelley Bacon says, “This puts us well on our way towards our goal of being able to support not only the USOC-sponsored athletes, but other national and international athletes.”
