Yes there is plenty of parking over there now with Little Italy garage and under county park I'm sure like everything else it comes down to $$$.
Who else is excited about the cross border terminal we now have 15+ cheap flights a day to Mexico City so you can time a quick connection to almost anywhere in Latin America!! Lima, Medellin, Santo Domingo, Havana, Sao Paolo... This is awesome. Has anyone ever flown to DF and tried to get a connection? Is it easy or a complete mess I'm curious. |

Some bad news for Harbor Island Development:
Lack of low-cost lodging dooms hotel project San Diego Union-Tribune August 14, 2015 Lori Weisberg Link: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/...-port-project/ Quote:

This is unbelievable that the Harbor Island Hotel thing can't be figured out. New rooms on the East side of the Island have been talked about for what 12 years now its seems? This coastal commission really needs to be dealt with it has been holding back the CA economy long enough. Think of all the out of work construction guys who are barely getting by working fast food or odd jobs who could be making great money constructing these hotels and other housing projects along the coast right now.

The rest of the architecture at Liberty Station is so bad that I wouldn't worry about this project standing out.
In other news, it is looking more like the Charger's stadium plan in Carson is losing support from the NFL. Spanks may have to be Kroenke's tenant, or come crawling back to the table. Time will tell. |

Height limits, Point Loma NIMBYS, proximity to SAN... There's a ton of shit going against Liberty Station, yet it's has more commerce/action happening there than most U.S. towns. It's like somebody dropped a master-planned Colorado suburb next to an airport. A lot less cool than Ft. Collins, CO. A lot more cool than Cedar City, UT. In other news, that Carson Stadium ain't happening. |
Anyone know if they are tearing down the remnants of the Navy barracks next to where this hotel is going up? I went through them as a recruit in the early 90s and would love to walk through them one last time.
I know they're pretty popular for urban explorers....and graffiti artists. |

Personally I like the layout and building styles there. Don't like the massive parking lots. Not sure if possible but if they could be allowed to build to just 3 stories you could build a couple of parking ramps that are 'skinned' with residential on 2 or 3 sides. Do town homes on 1-2 and condos up top. It would not add that many units but it would make it feel much much different. The biggest mistake made there was allowing the Rock Church to be located on the campus. It's a massive mess during the weekend. |
Here's an article about a proposed bridge and apartments for UCSD:

Wow UCSD is really blowing up with construction on the campus and at the Medical Center. It is well on its way to becoming one of the top Public Universities in the country and its Med Center is as good as it gets. I think that article made an error it says 2 11 floor buildings will be demolished to make way for 8 floor structures. There are no 11 floor buildings east of the 5 over there. I think maybe they meant to say 11 2 floor buildings.

Flew into SD yesterday, got a nice shot of downtown and that new building going up next to Emerald. What building is it and does anybody have a rendering?

Below is a a rendering, and a link to an article with more info. Another former posted an article a while back that mentioned that there is a Trolley stop planned for this location, too. But I haven't seen any renderings showing the proposed trolley station. Quote:

Really interesting architecture! |
The UT has an article on the recently completed Pinnacle on the Park (15th and Island) which also mentions tower two and 11th and Broadway.
