Major MXD Project Hits Green Note

SAN DIEGO—Proposed mixed-use development One Paseo‘s developer Kilroy Realty is meeting opposition to the 23.6-acre mixed-use project with LEED features that will improve traffic and the environment, the firm’s VP of development Bob Little tells GlobeSt.com exclusively. As GlobeSt.com reported earlier this week, recent local news reports say that the San Diego City Council this week tentatively approved the $750-million mixed-use housing, retail and office project in the Carmel Valley submarket after hearing several hours of testimony from hundreds of opponents and supporters, as well as a few slight modifications to the original proposal.

Reports also indicate that the One Paseo development would encompass nearly 1.5 million square feet of floor space, including more than 600 units of homes, shops and offices south of Del Mar Heights Rd., between El Camino Real and High Bluff Dr. Kilroy’s project would be composed of 10 buildings ranging from two to nine stories, and it would include a movie theater, landscaping and nearly 3,700 parking spaces. As part of the council’s approval, it is requiring Kilroy to deem roughly 60 residences affordable housing and to add an adaptive traffic-control system at nearby intersections.
