There is a crane at Pacific Gateway, folks. I saw it with my own eyes :)

I also thought the plan included taller buildings? They also seem vague on what will go in the retail spaces. This also opens up a discussion about if downtown needs a shopping district, which most major downtowns have. Without HP, there is really no major retail downtown (not sure if they are keeping the Macy’s). Meanwhile, UTC continues to explode with a lot of major retail/design stores being built. In fact I read that Design Within Reach which used to be downtown but closed many years ago is going to open in UTC. I’m wondering if with the trolley extension the thought is that UTC is “the” design/high end retail center of SD so downtown doesn’t need any of this? |
I feel like Manchester Pacific Gateway is gonna change that. Also, I feel like a lot of UTC's success does boil down to the fact that there are a lot of high-paying jobs there, which could translate to similar success and retail demand downtown if the Horton Campus is successful, particularly if they land themselves a unicorn like Apple or the like. Either way, I see good things on the horizon.

This is really happening boys. The plans are done, the permits are signed, and the checks are deposited. Check out this pic someone in the navy building posted on reddit: https://i.imgur.com/PBcPBJq.jpg Source |

Also regarding a shopping district in downtown, I think I read along with the California theatre development that the city was looking into making C street a revitalized commercial hub with new retail and stuff. With Horton plaza changing, you think some of the stores would look into opening up storefronts along the street?? C street maybe?? The fact that the trolley line runs through, and eventually under it, is a huge benefit.
As far as Manchester gateway. I really hope that it becomes a destination shopping hub as well.. from the renderings, it could be our version of Santa Monica’s 3rd street promenade. |
You can see the crane here!

I'm all for walkable, shopable neighborhoods, but it's going to have to happen organically. I say they let the HP transformation happen as planned & keep trying to lure warm bodies downtown. The shopping & amenities will follow. |

New 2 America Plaza Drawings
Looks like 2AP may not be a concrete slab much longer. This proposal just popped up CivicSD. IIRC the site was intended as a hotel of the same shape so they don't need to tear up the existing parking garage.

Does anybody remember the old 2 America Plaza renders that had a tower that looked like OAP's brother?
