Btw, the below project may be starting??? I cannot tell. Definately some earth work going on, but it seems like it is only on one part of the block whereas it seems like it it suppose to be the whole block.

15th & Island
http://www.ccdc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...propertyID=586

If you look on the site, the 1 story building, which will be a cafe/grille for the park, is just about finished out as the pinnacle sales office. I think they are going to try to get this off the ground, pending sales, by years end. The DDA states that the park has to be completed by either the end of 2007 or the end of 2008, and I believe the project will extend the underground garage under a portion of the park.

This will be great for CV and the rest of the South Bay. Perhaps it, along with a possible new Chargers Stadium, will help jumpstart a boom along the 5 corridor, south of downtown.

I'm glad they went with a single tower (300 feet) instead of 3 low rise buildings they originally proposed. I also think the design is more interesting than the new Hilton going up downtown.

Here's another pic that wasn't posted:

This will not be any competion for San Diego's CC. This will merely serve as overflow as to what the SDCC cannot book due to its surplus of conventions. The SDCC has the gaslamp, CV has nothing.

East Village Haps

Couple more positive construction timeline updates

Library Tower also has a timeline update, suprised this one is going forward without the library

Located in downtown San Diego's East Village neighborhood.

Centurion Partners and Avion Development plan to build a 43-story mixed-use project on the northeast corner of Park Boulevard and K Street. The project will include 168 condominiums, 187 parking spaces and approximately 14,000 square feet of retail space. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2007 with completion anticipated in early 2010.

Here is 15th and Island's details also with an update having them starting this year

Located in downtown San Diego's East Village neighborhood.

Pinnacle Development will be developing a mixed-use project consisting of approximately 620 condominium units, 20,000 square feet of commercial space, and 800 parking spaces in three levels of underground parking on an approximately 120,000 square foot "super-block" site bounded by Island Avenue and 14th, 15th, and J Streets. The development would create an approximately 57,000 square foot public park on the west half of the site, with the east half of the site being developed with two condominium towers of 31- and 39-stories (approximately 370 and 430 feet tall, respectively) above a 4-6 story base (45-80 feet tall). Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2007 and be completed in mid-2009.

How much weight would you guys give to these timelines. Looks like 15th and Island is not a joke since they're finishing up the sales office.

Because the housing market is slowing down and will be that way for a while, I suspect we'll see fewer proposals until things strengthen.

Concerning proposals in the pipeline... the developers may not be that exposed to the vulnerabilities assuming they purchased the properties a few years ago when land costs were much lower. Also, with fewer development moving forward construction costs should be tempered... I would think? And additionally, many of these developments will not be completed for about 2 years... especially the larger ones like Library Tower. In 2 years the market could have bottomed out by then and buyers could be returning.

With everything said, if I were a developer of a tower... I'd tend to want to watch and see what the market is doing before deciding to build. I remember reading an article in the Voice that said something along the lines that the cost of planning and building a tower, and the return based on the market for units, yeilded a 20% or so return. If the market softens... that 20% return could be nominal.

By the way, I tend not to believe in those construction timelines. When they start... I'll believe it.

I started a bunch of new threads under the "highrise construction" forum.
I started ones for:

Electra - 43 Floors
One Library Circle (Library Tower) - 43 Floors
Vantage Point -4o Floors
15th & Island - 31 & 39 Floors
Bayside at the Embarcadero - 36 Floors
Sapphire Tower - 32 Floors

Could someone please post pics of the projects under construction!!!!!!! Especially the ones like 15th and Island that are just getting a start with the new sales office and cafe being completed.

I got all of that information off of the ccdc website. If you go to all projects on the left hand side, or to the interactive map and click on individual projects you can get the blurbs. What I posted was the blurbs for the projects that are suppost to have starts in 2007 and one 2008. Below is the link to the project list. And below that is a blurb for a bosa project with an 07 start that I had not yet seen.


http://www.ccdc.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/projects.home

15 and Island
Located in downtown San Diego's Marina neighborhood.

Block bounded by First and Second avenues and Island and J streets

Bosa Development is proposing to construct a 38-story, mixed-use project consisting of 172 condominiums, 23,000 sf of retail space and 435 parking spaces on the block bounded by First and Second avenues and Island and J streets. The project would convert the existing J Street parking lot into a public plaza. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2007 with completion targeted for spring 2010.
