Riverwalk's New 140K Sf Trolley Station Will Include Retail And Residential Uses.

A deal with Houston-based developer Hines will reposition the Levi-Cushman family’s 27-hole, 200-acre Riverwalk Golf Club in Mission Valley to a mixed-used development. The Hines-Levi-Cushman partnership project, which will be presented in phases to city council for approval over the next few years, calls for 4,000 multifamily housing units, retail, up to 1M SF of office space and an 80-acre park, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The $2B development will be served by a new 140K SF Trolley station east of Via Las Cumbres that includes some retail and residential units. The entire golf course will remain operational until 2021, when residential construction will replace nine holes on the northern portion of the property. When residents begin occupying residential units in 2023, the golf course’s remaining 18 holes will be replaced by a park that will include trails, a natural habitat and possibly some recreational spaces.

Hines, which is conducting community workshops, will work to resolve community concerns about a development of this size’s impact on traffic, flooding and other environmental issues. A global developer with $80B in assets worldwide, the company has a strong track record for developing sustainable projects. Hines also developed and owns the La Jolla Commons office complex near the Westfield UTC shopping center.
