This is the project in front of Albertson's, right? I'm not aware of a park there. |
Interesting article/video on our airport

It seems like we will be stuck with Linbergh Field for our lifetimes anyway. :yuck: |
Sad to say, but we'll have "Star Trek" transportation technology before that beast gets nixed.

I took a quick drive to downtown on this very beautiful sunny day and had some observations:
*The main supports for the new library's dome have been installed and it looks HUGE from the 5 freeway. Looks like rollercoaster tracks. cant wait to see the final result. *Broadstone in Little Italy has started construction http://ccdc.com/scripts/gis/webporta...d.aspx?id=1028 CCDC *Ariel Suites has also begun! http://ccdc.com/scripts/gis/webporta...d.aspx?id=1066 CCDC From the U-T Quote:

Really upset that the fight for the Fat City property looks like it can't be won. We need more residents in Little Italy to really make it a vibrant neighborhood. Oh well at least something will get built there. Stoked about Broadstone and Ariel, LI is becoming a very impressive hood.

It looks just like the Q building that Segal built on India. This guy has only 2 designs in his pea brain, this design and the other cheap-ass cinderblock and stucco look with the steep front steps that he built all over Little Italy. Go inside the Q units and see all the hanging wires and miss-matched crap in them. If you dont see inside the units, walk inside the hallway off India St. by the coffee shop and and walk around to see what junk this dork builds before you sing his praises.
Segal wants to build a hotel! Earth to Jonathan-the occupancy rate in SD hotels is not very good. Its just a ploy to force the turbine companies hand on the condo idea. |

Liking the library
I must admit the models and renderings of the new library didn't do it justice because it was hard to get a feel for the scale of it.
Now that it's taking shape I'm really excited, I think it's going to be a defining piece of architecture for the east village and for our city in general. |

Anyone have pics of the Aeriel Suites tower, or any other projects in Little Italy that are under construction?

Park and G

We saw this project at Predesign one Tuesday. What does everyone think? Also, there is a big meeting coming up next month where we will review a Bosa project designed by KPF. I have nothing on it; does anyone know anything about it? |
Only 5 floors? This looks like a decent project for Sherman Heights of Barrio Logan but in my opinion not downtown worthy. Very uninspiring, and dull. I think anything built in downtown should be atleast 7 to 8 stories to get that Madrid/Paris streetscape going.

Yes please, build stuff in Sherman Heights!
