Reading the article about RADD at MPG it says the "initial phase" will be finished by Summer 2023.... Um its what 3 buildings that aren't very tall and look like they could be in Sorrento Mesa or UTC so why would it take three years just to build the initial phase? Based on the renderings if they are really starting construction now to build that amount of Biotech office space should take 2 years tops for the entire thing. :shrug:

What a great cultural addition to our city í ½í²– I think the redevelopment of seaport village with the aquarium and observation tower will help downtown a lot

Can anyone explain to me why the city is rescinding the 500ft height limit downtown in the next building code update? At the last city Land Use & Housing committee meeting, staff presented the removal of the height limit from the code. It passed out unanimously.
Check out the video link below and go to 1:13:13 to hear the staffer explain. http://sandiego.granicus.com/player/...&redirect=true I asked a avi friend what's up, and he said this: "So the wide horizontal length across the approach path was to not obstruct the instruments required for an aircraft to land when theres inclement weather said equipment is at each end of the runway at most airports. Thats changing. Most aircraft now are using GPS for their approaches which doesnt require the wide berth horizontally across the approach path due to its exact precision provided. So as this antiquated equipment transitions out if you will, that horizontal field will shorten in nature across the approach path. So in essence, you could see more mid-hi rises north of the 5 closer to the approach path. But it'll still depend on its actual location of the project because the airport has hilly terrain on either side as you know, and that presents separate problems that i wont bore you with!" |

As I've explained before, the first height limit is set at the state level by Caltrans so the city can't change it, but the city also has its own height limit at 500' above sea level. So if you built a tower on a hill 30' above the harbor, it could only be 470' from street level to rooftop. I don't really know what the reasoning was for setting it up, maybe in the pre-GPS days they were afraid of survey errors? In any case the city has already given out exemptions, the Pinnacle towers are 520' above sea level. The gains will be limited to an extra 20'-30' feet, while still being below 500' above the ground. Your friend is on the right track with his thinking, but he's forgetting that airports also have to plan for low precision GPS approaches in addition to high precision ones, and the clear zone for a low precision GPS approach is even wider than you need for a radio wave based localizer. Here's a comparison using KSAN. The pink is the clear zone for a non-precision LNAV GPS approach, and the yellow is the clear zone for a good old fashioned localizer. https://i.imgur.com/Cp7yDEg.jpg |

I walked around the MPG/RADD site on Monday night and there has already been significant earth moving done on the southern portion of site. I will use Navy Tower as the middle. North of new building there has also been quite a bit of excavation done not as extensive as on South side. Directly behind the old Navy buildings is still flat no dirt has been moved there.

They should at least increase the height limit to 800 ft.: no reason why Tulsa should have taller building than San Diego. Taller cities than San Diego: Mobile, Ala, Tulsa, Ok, Omaha, Neb, louisville, Kentucky, Tampa, Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, Harford, Conn, Buffalo, NY and etc.

Sorry for the poor quality, I saw the new SD symphony testing out lighting last night. Looks awesome.

Now if we can only get the Coronado Bridge lit up
Its so ridiculous that in 2020 one of America's largest tourist cities doesn't have its landmark bridge lit up at night. That is one of the most embarrassing things about SD actually. Why doesn't Erwin Jacobs just pay the 5 mill and say for 3 years call it the Qualcomm bridge they can even put their logo in the middle of it for all we care, we just want the damn thing lit. :hell:

Sounds like they're testing the main column lighting of the bridge next week! |
Sorry for the big photo, but u/Madison_love posted this gorgeous pic on reddit that I wanted to share. interestingly, it's stated that this was taken at the top of The Merian. I had no idea that the Park & Market project changed names. Is UC San Diego still involved? I haven't heard much about this project in awhile.

^That's a gorgeous pic!

To think that most of those buildings in the picture weren't there 20 years ago
