North Embarcadero Visionary Plan

This is something that I am very excited about!!! San Diego has been wasting beautiful waterfront prime property for many years. This is, of course my opinion, but I do believe there are many other San Diegans who would agree.... I believe this will make developments like The Grande (North and South towers) and Bayside (which has an estimated completion date of 2009) prime real estate in Downtown San Diego. Not to mention all of the shops, parks and the new high end office building that will be brought in. This project has been "a long time coming" and I encourage everyone, whether you are in Real Estate or not to take a look and see what they have in store for the Embarcadero!!

The North Embarcadero Visionary Plan (NEVP) comprises a set of public infrastructure improvements for the area bordered by Market Street on the south, Laurel Street to the north, the railroad right of way to the east and the San Diego Bulkhead line (the bayward edge of land) to the west, in downtown San Diego. The NEVP will shape the future of San Diego by joining downtown and the bay. The plan will benefit the entire region, enhancing the bay’s appeal as a hub of activity. Highlights of the plan include:

• A grand entrance along Broadway, from the Santa Fe Depot west to the water.
• A 1.2-mile esplanade that will stretch along the waterfront with trails for walking and jogging.
• A pier at Grape Street and North Harbor Drive.
• The revitalization of the Broadway Pier.
• A wharf for civic events.
• The addition of 1,770 trees.
• An outdoor dining terrace, new retailbusinesses and lighting along the wharf and piers.
