The 39 floor bosa tower slater for '09 should fix that area up...

The San Diego skyline has changed quite a bit since I was there the last time 3.5 years ago. Definitely a nice addition to the skyline.

and how it will affect the skyline from both angles...

electra is so damn sexy!

It seems like keeping the old SDG&E facade slowed this project down some, but I'm sure it'll be worth it to preserve something old and irreplaceable.

Man, SD is gonna be the Miami of the west coast with all these condo towers. I like the design of this one too.

anybody ever think the ugly power plant adjacant to this tower to the south will be shut down and something else will go in its place (and hopefully not lowrise

)?

they shouldve built some residential levels above it or something...
