Architect needed for multifamily new construction in San Diego

[Nick Castello]

I'm new to BP and this is my first post! I really appreciate all the valuable info I've gotten from this community so far.

My family has several aged single-family properties on adjacent lots in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego. They're in a nice area that's experienced a lot of turnover recently, and my family's properties are pretty much the ugliest on the block. In total, these lots amount to about 15,000 sqft. My understanding is that it's in a mixed-use zoning area. We would like to demolish and redevelop these to create as much value as possible, which would be to combine the lots and build an apartment complex. 

I've never been involved in new construction or anything of this scale so I'm looking for people that can help me develop a plan. In particular, I'm looking for an architect that has experience with multifamily/mixed-use development.

Please reach out if you have anyone you can recommend, or if you have any good ideas for finding referrals. Thanks!
