I really hope the projects along C (California Theater) and Broadway (11th/Broadway, Broadway 'Block') break ground soon. I've heard doubts from the Civic SD rep about 11th and Broadway, but that was a few months ago so maybe circumstances have changed.
I believe Pinnacle or Bosa is now the developer of the 'Willmark' 13th/Park/C project that has been limbo for almost 2 years. If it's true they are thinking about building taller due to a faultline, they might be thinking steel vs wood (closer to 20 stories). I wouldn't be surprised to see an entirely new project surface with Willmark throwing in the towel. There is also a firestation planned for that same block. No details, sorry.

California Theater is alive and well. The next hearing is on Feb. 23 to clear some final permitting approvals. Funny how some projects seem to fly...

That EV green park will be a major headache. Phase 1 will be easy enough, but the completed design involves relocating the SDGE substation that powers all of EV. I talked to a Civic SD rep who said they are looking into spots near the freeway, but no one seems to know where funding will come from (which is completely separate from park funding). Remember eminent domain pays fair market value, but SDGE and the city are cozy so who knows what they'll dream up, if ever. Smart n Final doesn't want to sell, either. The good news is, the construction contract has been approved. "
But the CivicSD staff proposes to drop an earlier commitment to reserve all future DIF payments to complete the park. That’s because it could cost $112 million more if an SDG&E power substation has to be relocated and privately owned parcels have to be bought."

The Ritz (7th and Market) and 7th and Island have final approvals and permits, as does the 1st and Beech project (a 425') project I think Mello was referring to. That, or the India and Beech project that is 334'. Latest is that they 'are going forward'.
