They have been working on this Horton project for a long time now. When is it finally supposed to open. For example the RADD Labs project is almost finished and that started way after Horton. It's supposed to have a bunch of restaurants which downtown is already oversaturated with. I really hope some office workers fill up the space. I'm really excited for 2 40 floor towers there. Will be an awesome addition to skyline.
Has anyone heard what is up with the Ball Park Storage development? We were anticipating that would have broken ground by now. |

Chula Vista Gaylord Pacific Resort coming along well. Does anyone have information on the residential towers coming to the Chula Vista bayfront?
https://coolsandiegosights.files.wor...img_8081-1.jpg |
^^^ Damn I need to take a drive down there and check it out. That's exciting to see!
And no idea about the rest of the bay front's development. I remember there being some proposals years ago from the controlling entity, Pacifica, but no concrete news since then. Here is a link to the residential component from Pacifica's architects: http://super3studio.us/amara-bay/ Also, Merry Christmas, everyone! Looking forward to new development news next year :) |

Manchester’s record of uninspired, outdated designs, sitting on things for years, and abandoning projects doesn’t make me too optimistic I’ll see anything good there in my lifetime.

There's a Youtube video about the Amara Bay project. I've driven by there. They've starting grading the dirt.

Somewhat related…
What’s up with that 2 story gated house (?) that’s located directly next door to this site at 619 Kettner? Is that a residence? Does someone live there? I’ve wondered what it was ever since I was a kid. Google Maps says it’s “Essel Enterprises” which appears to be some kind of consultation service? Google search doesn’t return many results. |
Well that was quite the storm...
Anyways, has anybody looked at the 2025 Regional Plan? |

40-Story Residential High Rise Set to be Built on Site of Storage Building
40-Story Residential High Rise Set to be Built on Site of Storage Building Near Ballpark
Times of San Diego 02-08-24 “ A 40-story residential development near Petco Park is set to break ground in early 2025, bringing nearly 450 homes to downtown San Diego.” “We acknowledge that San Diego has long been a car-dependent city, but we are confident the mindset will change as downtown continues to urbanize.” -Cresleigh Homes https://i0.wp.com/timesofsandiego.co...ise_.jpg?ssl=1 https://timesofsandiego.com/business...near-ballpark/ |
Early 2025 for groundbreaking of Ball Park storage? Um I hope that is a typo. This development has been approved for what a year and a half now? I hope it is more like early 2024 to this summer ground breaking. By early 2025 there could be major economic problems with the commercial real estate and banking sectors.
A tall building in that spot will somewhat make up for the absence of 7th and Market for skyline affect. I am still so mad that the Ritz never materialized such a blow to skyline potential and urban impact on that part of DT. Does anyone find it strange that downtown LA had so many towers built by Chinese money and SD got zero? You would have thought they would look 100 miles south and say oh here is another booming urban zone that is open to highrise development. San Diego must be on their radar with so many of the elites children going to UCSD lol :haha: |

Signs of life at 13th and Broadway (14 story residential project designed by JWDA
https://jwdainc.com/civic-san-diego-...13th-broadway/ Heavy machinery on site is drilling around the perimeter for shoring. Glad to see some activity around this area-- so many vacant blocks just sitting empty since they demolished the Salvation Army Rehab Center, and their Thrift Store, not to mention the big hole in the ground across the street from 1080 Park Blvd. |
Quote:
Not sure if that project will make-up for the ritz not moving forward, that was a HUGE blow and I feel like East Village continues to deteriorate. Also, the target not moving forward was another big blow. There is an article in the Union Tribune about a Whole Foods store going into this development at A and Front street (I don’t subscribe so can’t post the full article): https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com...town-san-diego Seems like Little Italy area is where a lot of investment is happening, I’m worried retail developers have given-up on East Village. |
Yes Little Italy is definitely where the investment and people are nowadays. Hopefully East Village can start getting back to where it should be, but the homeless issue is really a deterrent for everyone out there.

Speaking of East Village… is there any updates on the Tailgate Park development? I know they said groundbreaking wouldn’t commence until late 2024 to late 2025, but I’ve haven’t heard a peep about it in a long time.

Just wanted to say that The Lindley looks awesome. It with Simone, changes the skyline pretty dramatically when you’re on the 5 going south into downtown (Haven’t driven down there in ages). For the first time, it actually felt like I was driving into a major city.

The Lindley looks close to topping out soon. Should be working on the 37th floor.

Also anybody have any idea what's goin on at 5th/Ash. Parking lot has been torn up and looks like they are driving piles down, far more work than I'd expect for a simple lot repavement. No info online. |

Downtown 40-story apartment project changes course, will become condos BY PHILLIP MOLNAR MARCH 20, 2024 https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/d...13b%2Fbosa.jpg Quote:

Was an unusual set of circumstances that lead to that actually. Previously the Symphony Towers had been the highest buildings in downtown, but midway through design the engineers in the twin towers discovered a fault line splitting the lot in two. They ended up having to shrink the ground footprint of both towers, and make them a tad bit taller. That ended up pushing the height above sea level above Symphony, which meant they had to do some extra aviation safety studies, something the developers had been hoping to avoid. But all's well that ends well I suppose. |
Do we know if the conversion to condos will have further implications beyond change of floor plans and layout? Surely it's not any massing changes since they've already started laying the groundwork?
I live close to the site, so I'm eager to watch construction resume and see the neighborhood further densify :cheers: |
Looks like West Chula Vista finally will see more development.

Does anyone here know if the Coronado Bridge Lighting Project is still alive? Have not heard a peep about it for awhile now.I know a lot of projects go dark for a bit before we hear they are a go so not sure if this one is still in a process.

SD kinda dead lately. Nothing going on, was hoping some news about a replacement developer for 7th/Market would pop up. Nothing about Padres developing that massive lot east of Petco and no ground breaking on that huge triangular shaped lot in Skid row that had a proposal on it. At least all the tent people are gone from that whole area has anyone else noticed that?
General Commentary: It has been nearly 6 years since the SDSU vs. Soccer City vote. If Soccer City had won would we see more than just a stadium sitting on that land. I figured that tons of housing and campus expansion space would be happening there by now. What do you guys think? |
Quote:
Also general commentary, why doesn't San Diego have its own proper P&C sub-forum like LA and Portland with dedicated threads for individual projects? Seems weird to only have a single thread for all of the numerous major construction projects happening in one of the country's largest cities. |
Quote:
SF on the other hand does have multiple active threads for updates on individual projects. To a lesser extent, Oakland as well. Berkeley, San Jose, metro Bay Area, and Sacramento have just one general project thread each. |

Riverwalk is interesting. I feel like they were focused more on key infrastructure elements first before vertical construction begins. You are correct though, no news has come since last September. I wonder if it's a financing or market issue. I will say that overall, we are seeing a significant uptick in permit applications for North Park, Uptown, and even Golden Hill/South Park. Lots of 7-8 story proposals, and even some towers. And with the city's recent reforms, some of these projects may even be withdraw and resubmitted to achieve even higher densities. Whether any of these pencil in the near term is a big question, but developers are getting ready for the next construction boom by lining up permits now. |
Here is an example of a Hillcrest project that's taking advantage of the city's recent housing reforms:
https://x.com/JPAdotcom/status/1770151527383998727 Looks like we may be breaking the stick and podium ceiling finally! |

I agree that SD development isn't dead, but looking at other cities around North America, I can see how it feels that way. Austin and Miami are booming, and Seattle has built a lot in the last decade.
I saw on reddit the other day all the proposals popping up in Kelowna, British Columbia (a small city in the middle of nowhere), and their list of projects looks comparable to downtown San Diego's. |
