[quote=briansd1]I think that Mira Mesa is a great opportunity for better housing and density in San Diego.

Mira Mesa is conveniently located near UCSD, and employment centers and has a vibrant Asian community.

Mira Mesa mall could be a shopping center/tranportation hub/central plaza with shopping, a cineplex and few high-rises towers like they have at Costa Verde. A trolley could connect MM to UCSD and the UTC area.

The old 1970s areas could be upzoned for mid-rise condo buildings.

Maybe an Indian tribe could annex some land and build a casino/hotel.[/quote]
They are building high rise condos/apartments behind Best Buy. They’ll be building high rises and mix used buildings where the gravel pit is right now. They’re talking about starting that master plan around 2020.

There is plan to extend the trolley from UTC to the east side of MM, when they extend the trolley from DT to UTC.

One of the apartment complex already got approval to up-zone to a 3-4 story apartment complex. It wouldn’t surprise me if other apartment complex do the same thing sometime down the road. Especially when those 70s apartment complex become too old in the future.
