This is my fiirst post in years and it's great to see that this thread is still active. :tup:
Just wondering if anyone has any info on the Monte Verde project that is currently going up at the corner of La Jolla Village and Genessee? Saw the rendering below in the Garden Communities website under "Coming Soon". Is this what is going up or is it the shorter tower in the other rendering? Either one will be a nice addition to UTC http://www.gardencommunitiesca.com/A...de.aspx#photos https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1604/...11c47a7d_o.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1532/...f0de7145_c.jpg http://www.tsminc.com/projects/monte-verde/ |

1st & Beech is going to really fill up that section of downtown, and of course 7th & Market is going to do amazing things for the skyline on Market.

I read an article a while back about the hotel owners wanting to re-brand the W as a Marriott Renaissance (or another Marriott brand) so the hotel would have greater appeal to business travelers. Given the location of the hotel ( near law firms and courthouses) this is somewhat understandable. The W would probably play better closer to the Gaslamp or Cc area.
I know there were plans for another W in UTC before the crash. Now that Marriott is running Starwood , I wouldn't hold my breath on any locations anywhere. |

Wish citiplace was taller but I'll take it 7th & Market is interesting, definitely will add bulk to the area! |

Hmmm.....While there are many left, a few downtowns I can think of that don't currently have 5 star properties are Minneapolis, PHX, San Antonio, St. Louis and Tampa. |

Outside the status of saying your city has one the difference between a 4 and 5 star hotel is usually pretty subtle. I did say usually there too. I've been in a number of the 5 stars I thought were probably only as good as or inferior to some 4 stars I've been in.
I'd be more concerned about a city not having enough (based on its market) 4 star hotels in it vs not having a 5 star hotel. Still cool if the city can support one. |

No secret I don't think that's a good location for a stadium, but setting those feelings aside and looking at just the design I have to say meh. Looks like a garden variety stadium to me, uninspired, un-imagined, under-whelming. And what's with the half-assed attempt to "save" the wonderbread building?? Do they want to build over it or just save the facade (if you look closely it looks like concrete columns go through it). I don't mean to rain on the parade of those who like it, but to me it seems like it was slapped together quickly without any thoughtfulness so they would have an image to go along with the signature gathering that just started
