I think those projects combined with what is already UC will give us a pretty respectable skyline. But if economy tanks it could scuttle a few of those projects.
What do you guys think about the 5th ave landing project en lieu of the CC expansion? Looks like those guys are pushing hard to get their hotel built.

The 5th Ave landing hotel is great IMO as it is quite tall and right on the water. Would look great from the Coronado Bridge.
Regarding skyline "respectability", I agree that those projects you outlined would be great additions especially given their locations. Also, I'd say that IMO, SD's skyline is quite respectable even in spite of the height limit. I've been on this forum for longer than I care to admit and have seen the skyline go from lacking to fairly impressive. This is a big accomplishment considering the height limit. I'd go out on a limb and say that we're getting close to the point where new projects won't add much more to the skyline unless they are taller (than the height limit) or are in locations that add significant visual impact (along the water, near the Coronado Bridge, EV, etc). I guess you could say the plateau is moving eastward.
