The new county courthouse broke ground Monday. http://fox5sandiego.com/2014/03/10/c...uperior-court/ Also, it looks like the US open is coming back in 2021!

Has anybody else noticed that the First National Bank Center building has a (new?) lighting scheme? I didn't get a picture, but there is a white border around each of the "steps" at the top. I saw it last night when driving home from the airport. It looks very nice.

That's cool. The First National Bank Center just recently was purchased by a new owner and they have been renovating it.

Prahaboheme: they saved the sign but they are building a new building that will look the same as the old one. Also while I was downtown today I saw that demolition has begun on the old brake depot and construction fences are all around the Blue Sky site. Also fences are up around the New Courthouse site as well so I would guess that ground breaking should be happening soon.

Work is full steam ahead at Blue Sky. Here is an article with some recent pics. Note:the render is outdated though. http://sandiego.urbdezine.com/2014/0...-brown-ground/

Great Waterfront Park update video just got posted showing trees arriving, Geofoam being placed, and the fountains beginning to take shape. Link.

I'm glad to see the progress on the CAC park. I can't wait until it is complete!

Some North Park Infill:
https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3772/...697de1e6cb.jpg The North Parker - possibly the best infill development around. The ground floor looks incredibly engaging; this is going to have a major impact on this little section of town. It is still a shame though that across the street is a Jack in the Box. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7008/...640cf291a1.jpg Old Post Office redevelopment -- Sempra headquarters: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7040/...31a04ff62e.jpg A few other East Village infill updates: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7163/...c85d84f9af.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2844/...bebe958abd.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7117/...8fa2539381.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7178/...bd2c671af4.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3704/...58e50f5a2d.jpg Community College progress |
Some nice infill there. I like the projects in North Park. I just hope their can be more progressive developments like these in the future. I've been reading a lot of planning committee notes and community newspaper articles on the topic lately from the urban neighborhoods and, sadly, these groups are hell bent on saran wrapping their communities in oppressive height restrictions, excessive parking requirements, and pro-car, pro-down zoning, anti-bicycle policies. These people are making affordability worse, and creating exclusive communities for their own interests. In 20 years these neighborhoods are going to become retirement communities for who were either lucky enough to buy in when the market was only slightly less affordable or those who are wealthy enough on their own (fewer, and fewer among us). As a millennial, this is depressing, but these people will reap what they sow when disinvestment and economic stagnation claim their communities.

Palomar, Main street exits especially. I think there is big potential there, if developers and people open their mind and some height is allowed to take advantage of views. And there are actually a lot of cool older nabes in the heart of Chula Vista that have good bones. |
