SAN DIEGO | La Jolla Commons | 13 x 2

spoonman · #1 Posted **Mar 26, 2007, 6:07 AM**

The La Jolla Commons is a hotel / office/ condo complex that broke ground recently in the UTC area of San Diego near the I-805 Freeway at La Jolla Village Dr. The project calls for a Mandarin Oriental Hotel, an office tower, and condominiums.

i kinda wish the Mandarin Oriental was downtown

good for the community of La Jolla though

Don't worry, downtown will probably end up with a Ritz-Carlton and a JW. I was very happy when we got the W and especially the Omni...a very premier hotel in the industry. Oh, and don't forget about the Hard Rock. It's a different breed, but there are only a few in the country. The fact that they built one in a place that doesn't have gambling is a compliment to our city.

^and (hopefully)in addition to those...we might get two Mandarin Orientals...one in La Jolla and one Downtown

trust me guys...if my dreams came true...we would have one bad ass city!

La Jolla Commons is scheduled to be completed in spring 2008.

I love the other side of La Jolla, I had some good food on the cliff last time I was around. Is this going on the east or west side of the freeway?

eburress · #14 Posted **Apr 1, 2007, 4:10 PM**

^^ It's going in on the NW corner of I-805 and La Jolla Village Drive, which really isn't in La Jolla at all.

I drove by the site this weekend... Steel is going up (two or three stories) for the 15 floor midrise.. the other two buildings are simply holes in the ground.

Okay, I'll get pictures. I've been REALLY slacking on this board. I live near the corner of Regeants and Nobel so I'm not far from this.

HurricaneHugo · #19 Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 4:14 AM**

i was going to take a picture of it but traffic made me move before i could

According to the developer's timeline, the first building (the smallest) will be topped out on June 30th.
