UTC Westfield overhaul

[Fearful]

Funny, I was chatting with the girl who was manning the booth, and one of the first comments I had was I doubted the upgrade would actually take place. You do big upgrades at the bottom of a recession, not going in to one! But CRE lags residential, and CRE is just starting to show pain; who knows, they may actually get it done. If I were on the SD city council, I would have tried to ram this thing through while times were still good. Too late now.

I’m not sure that the presence of Sears is necessarily an indicator of a downscale mall. South Coast Plaza has a Sears and it’s one of the most upscale malls in SoCal. But I definitely agree that if Westfield UTC is going to try to move upmarket they definitely need to get rid of lower end stores like Sears.

I would be surprised if this project gets off the ground as well. Especially the condo project. I wonder who thinks its a good idea to combine commercial and residential property like this. I personally would hate to live that close to a mall — I can just imagine having to fight holiday shopping crowds to get home.

I think that it’s great. The UTC area will be like Westwood in LA.

If I were young and a student again, I would love lo live above the mall. Very cool. If you’re a student, you don’t need to drive. Take the bus to school and the trolley downtown. Walk to shopping.

The question is: can the students afford to live there?

patientlywaiting hit the nail on the head – affordability.

In Pasadena we have a retail center called Paseo Colorado, which is very upscale. They built five or six stories of apts. above the two-level retail complex. The apartments are sky high in price. I asked someone who lived there what it was like to live there and he said, “A lot of times it’s very noisy.” That is what I would not want – lot’s noise, especially into the night.

If I were a student in San Diego, I’d much rather live on the UCSD campus! Imagine being in Torrey Pines – the smell and the sight of the ocean so close to you. I love riding my bike up from the Village in La Jolla and going right by the University. The Mall is east of the freeway, much farther (further?) from the ocean
