OAP not lit up again tonight as I was at Liberty Station. While I was there I was wondering why not have office space for tech startups there? Is it not hip and urban enough and too much of an office campus feel? It is close to the beach and downtown, seems like it would do. Tons of space still available as well. As I stroll the grounds it is a great space that feels underutilized.
|
From my own knowledge the space there is really expensive which would probably deter any start ups. I would love it if they started moving there though it is a great spot. I've always thought that Liberty Station could use a trolley line. It could run right past the airport which has already been discussed and finish at Liberty Station. It would probably help the area grow as well.
|
Ideally a train would cut through the airport, Liberty Station, up through Mission Bay, and stop over at Mission Beach -- finally allowing a direct connection from the beaches to downtown. Given the amount of drinking / driving incidents in PB / MB and the sobriety checkpoints, it seems like a pretty compelling argument to get some better mass transit connections out there for college students who travel this route.

More steel at One La Jolla Center, rising fast.

Well maybe the rent is too much for start ups but what about established companies who are still small like the one trying to move in to TR Produce next to ballpark?
When you think about it Liberty Station is pretty unique, how many other cities have anything quite like that but I think it is not living up to its potential at all. When will those hotels start construction there? And renderings of La Jolla Commons III would be great. |
I do agree with you on the more established companies. Plus it is a really nice area over there. I think one of the problems could be the lack of public transit because a lot of companies now look for those features.
Also, here is the render of La Jolla Commons 3 that you requested. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2901/...58ae20c94e.jpg |
Here is an updated render I found of Pacific Gateway with the updated Lane Field and Pacific and Broadway added in. They look pretty nice all together. I hope things start happening in the next couple years on these projects.

Thanks Tyler so disappointed in LJ Commons that is weak! On the other hand look at all that park space in the downtown rendering that combined with the Pier Park (Which pier would it be on again) should shut people up about turning NBC in to a giant park. The manchester buildings look the same though.
On another note I think it is a disgrace that the CAC has any dirt, I mean WTF San Diego has plenty of dirt (Fiesta Island anyone) why on earth did they spend all that money and not put grass or at least fake grass everywhere? Is this going to be changed? ---- Has anyone heard an update about the mobile home park on the North East corner of Mission Bay and the resort that has been planned there for decades but the damn old people refuse to leave their homes that they signed a land lease on? |
Mello: the park is on Navy pier. Plus they are also doing some enhancements to the Broadway Pier. Here are the renders for it.

Mello: Also, regarding the De Anza Cove trailer park the UT just had an article on it. Hopefully things get worked out on this soon. Here it is. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/...iction-ruling/

Is La Jolla commons tower 3 office? I thought it was slated to be a hotel.
If it does not become a hotel someone else will probably jump on that. I believe that area along with Sorrento Valley will soon require more hotel capacity. |
Chalepo, do you have any idea what is going on with the lot east (towards the 805) of LaJolla Commons? I was by there the other day and saw a sign trying to attract a lab or research facility. Would love to see Hines (developer of LJC) buy the site and continue their ambitious developments toward the 805.

There is a dirt lot up the road on the corner of Eastgate and Towne Centre that has an advertisement for a pretty impressive modern office building that's supposed to be built there. Irvine Company project. I'll grab a snapshot on Monday. |
Went to the CAC park today.
Pretty cool though it needs vendors or something for food/drink and cheaper parking. The parking was $15! I'm guessing it was that much because the Sicilian fest was going on the same time. Lucky we found street parking nearby |
