I've always maintained a certain portion of Centro, should be put on the National Historic Register, unattractive to the eye as it may seem., like the Nelson Hotel, for one, on Revolution. When the new President came into power, one of his idealistic missions was to stop pushing the low income to the outskirts of Mexican cites (as you can see in Tijuana if you've ever taken the bus to Tecate) and build more low-income, subsidized housing in the heart of their cities. But this project is for the rich, not the poor. |
This project is in Zona Rio, and I agree the "center of Tijuana" is moving eastward, away from the historical center where Ave. Revolucion is.
This project is located on the Blvd. Aguacaliente and Blvd. General Abelardo Rodriguez, which will bring it within proximity to many of Tijuana's highrises that surround the private golf club. In other words, this project couldn't be in a better place. It will start to define a more central area for the highrises and it is located on a vacant lot. |
The scare has been lifted, oh the idea of leveling buildings in Centro to build this, so I'm not surprised at all it's headed to the Rio Zona, Aguascaliente, Chapultepec Golf Course region.
Now, if the Prez of Mexico makes good on his promise to bring housing for the poor back to old Tijuana, that would be a big boon to Centro, as Centro is crying aloud for some housing, low-mid-or-higher density. Great idea, 2 "downtowns", one for the rich/middle class, one for the poor. |

Did a number of high rises fall over during the quake? And what buildings fell over and which survived? Mexico City was hit with a bad one, back in the 70's? See what survived and didn't survive. And that may help with your decision. |
Does anyone know if TJ has any height restrictions on buildings? Also have there been any higher than 500ft that have been proposed?

Does anybody know what's being built behind Courtesy Chevrolet in Mission Valley?

It's exasperating, in some ways, downtown TJ/has been abandoned, and they're creating scattered density areas in Rio Zona, like the 3 New City towers so close to the Border which just rose up in the last 5 years. No rhyme or reason here for that! It saddens me, as on my last trip there this summer, I see more and more empty storefronts in Centro and abandoned buildings, as if there's a relocation going to Zona Rio. |
In the Central Library looking east. The Alexan (18 floors) is about 7 floors up, and I see a hole which I believe is for the second 15th and Island tower (45 floors). Also ground level construction for 460 16th street tower (21 floors) is underway.
Its nice to see 3 towers going up at the same time within a 3 block diameter, not to mention Ballpark village going up relatively close by. The 330 13th street Library Tower (22 floors) lot has been cleared and fenced, any news on when it will begin construction? The website of the construction company says 2nd quarter 2016. |
A cool thing that is happening right now is the "Rise Up As One" music festival happening at the border of San Diego and TJ.Two Cities, two countries united in one big party! Comes to show how much closer our cities are becoming and unites everybody. #NO WALLS, WE DON'T NEED THEM

As the thread creator, I more than welcome active discussions about projects happening in Tijuana. :)
