Since then, Lincoln Harbor has grown into more than 1.8 million sf of commercial development with a roster of office tenants that includes names like UBS/PaineWebber, Qwest, Exodus Communications and Citicorp. It also features a variety of shops, restaurants, residential condos, a marina, waterfront esplanade, covered parking and the 348-key Sheraton Suites Hotel.

And Lincoln Harbor is about to get a lot bigger. Hartz has just gotten the necessary approvals for the development's final phase, highlighted by two high-rise office towers totaling 855,000 sf. Other components include a 135-room all-suite hotel and two smaller office buildings of 200,000 sf and 90,000 sf.

In terms of timeline, all that's certain right now is that construction will begin shortly on the 90,000-sf office building. Onset of construction is based on a 40,000-sf tenant commitment, although the new tenant has not been named.
