If anyone has something to add to the following new threads in the "Highrise Construction" forum it would be appreciated. I guess Library Circle may be a couple months off, but if anyone has a picture of them pushing dirt around, feel free to add it.
Thanks Charger Fan, Derek5, and BMFarley for helping keep the threads alive Electra - 43 Floors One Library Circle (Library Tower) - 43 Floors Vantage Point -4o Floors 15th & Island - 31 & 39 Floors Bayside at the Embarcadero - 36 Floors Sapphire Tower - 32 Floors |
PS: Does anyone know what ever happened to this project? Its the Kettner/Ash site, which is ajacent to Sapphire and Bayside. It would make that area incredibly dense as Breeza, Sapphire, Treo, Grande, Allegro are all going to be there.

We could probably add the Hilton, Diegan and Aria to the list since each is over 15 floors and 200 feet. Quote:

Just my opinion but there is NO WAY that Cosmo breaks ground anytime soon. |
Quote:
|
^i like it too!
as for Cosmo Square...i pray that this one is built :( |
when did the "First National Bank" building change its name to "Pacific Western Bank"?
First National looked so much better at the top of it :( |
Here's a cosmo square rendering from the developer's website, I hadnt seen this one before, its kinda nice set behind the Legend building like that.

beautiful

its nice...period.;)

I hope there is no reflection off the glass and onto the field. That would suck. Say in the fall and having a 12pm start time.
|
^does the blue tinting help deflect sun light at all? just a thought
|
One more projected start for 2007 I missed earlier
Pier in Little Italy CityMark Development plans to construct a 230-unit mixed use project with 366 parking spaces on the west side of Kettner Boulevard between Fir and Grape streets. The project will contain 10,500 square feet of retail space. Construction is scheduled to begin in Spring 2007 with a late 2008 completion targeted. |
Does anyone know the status of the north embarcadero visionary project and when its suppost start construction. Once that thing is done San Diego will feel very different.
|
^i thought i read somewhere that its supposed to start phase 1 sometime this year...
im probably wrong :shrug: |

theres a huge ad for this in Little Italy right now... |

i hope Pier is built...didnt one of the forumers on the last thread purchase a unit there already?
another thing...Embassy 1414...anybody got any details about that at all? the banner is still at the site...but i havent heard squat about it:( |
Does anyone know how tall Pier will be? How many floors or feet?
|
^not that tall...its gonna be a midrise...15 floors maybe...and like 200 feet?
|

CCDC website indicates 15 floors...so im bad ass for knowing that ;)...but it didnt give an exact height...
|
Is the Lane Field Project(:yuck: ) the area on the left with the parking lot in the first picture?
|

Better than a parking lot I guess
|
yes, parking lots suck :)
|
thats all downtown used to be...haha, that and brake depots & homeless shelters.
|
i actually want to see nice, new homeless shelters integrated into the East Village area so we can get them off the streets and have a safer, cleaner way of life downtown...

believe me, i used to live downtown. the homeless have a strong presense down there. there were days when i couldnt walk 3 blocks without being asked for change or whatever a couple times. there are a lot of tourists and people in general walking around down there. downtown isnt the best place for these people to be sleeping (most of the time on the street) and using the bathroom (also on the street). the problem with a homeless shelter is there is never enough space for the amount of demand. usually what happens is the shelters close during the day sending the people out into the streets and open during food serving times and dusk. This keeps the homeless community close to the shelter because they are waiting for food and a place to sleep. in the meantime, they beg for change to buy booze or drugs. and bother people. this may all sound very selfish, but i lived down there. i had to deal with them. oh, and i also got jacked by a couple of them...so yeah. im kind of tired of that problem and cant wait until were at a point where police will actually put some effort towards getting this problem out of our city. |
Broadway and C Street are really bad. A lot of people won't walk through that area because its shady 24/7. Hopefully the C-Street revitalization project will help some of that, but we all know it will just move the ghetto to another area, probably toward "smart corner".

Anyway, point is that all this construction is very good for downtown. When street corners get developed it seems to push the seedy element elsewhere. |

This is relevant to the question if the parkign ont he left is Lane Field. The parking you pointed out is for the Bosa tower or Irvine Co. Office building. It could be the site where IM Pei will be designing soemthing... or maybe Pei is designing AP 2? Lane Field is west of Pacific Highway ... east of Harbor... north of Broadway. |

Imo, which you probably know already, is that people should chose wisely where they live and not choose lifestyles putting them in cars for 1 hour each morning or evening. I know that is some peoples only 'alone' time, but that choice is messed up. Or, that 1 hour away their work location is the only affordable housing they could afford. Personally, that is not an affordable lifestyle for me. I don't want to behind the wheel that long... too painful on many levels. |
i was only emphasizing the parking lots suck part ;)
but i totally agree with you!:) |
