Development teams are attempting to wow local leaders with proposals that promise thousands of homes for people of all income levels and a world-class sports arena.
Five development teams are promising dramatic, neighborhood-altering facelifts to the acres of asphalt and rundown storefronts on the city sports arena site in the Midway District.
They are battling each other to win a long-term ground lease for the parcels at 3500, 3250, 3220 and 3240 Sports Arena Blvd in the Midway District. The property includes San Diego’s sports arena, which was built in 1966 and has served as the long-time home of the San Diego Gulls.
