Many design elements were interpreted from Tower I and the existing casino space with a heavy emphasis on art, pre-function and grandeur. Understanding and respecting Viejas heritage while embracing contemporary art and design was key to maintaining client satisfaction. Phase II was designed to be a reflection of Tower I, encompassing a U-shaped courtyard with outstanding views while providing space for public gathering, concerts and more. Phase 2 Having successfully completed Viejas Phase I, with a 98% occupancy rating and AAA 4-diamond rating, the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians selected JCJ to continue design services for the subsequent hotel tower, connecting casino, restaurants, bar and lounges, meeting rooms, an 11,000 square foot ballroom, pre-function and overflow spaces.
