University Town Center

University Town Center is located in Santa Cruz, California. It is centrally positioned in a high-visibility location on Pacific Avenue downtown Santa Cruz, just five minutes walking distance to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The outdoor promenade provides a charming, inviting atmosphere that has successfully attracted well-known retailers and major businesses.

Retail stores and a restaurant occupy the first floor, the second and third floors are offices and classrooms, and 52 residential units comprise the fourth and fifth floors.

The principal university occupants are UCSC Extension and the UTC Residential Office (a part of UCSC’s Housing, Dining and Child Care Services program).
