Is Downtown San Diego too Noisy? Good News for Residents that live near the railroad tracks.
March 4th, 2008 Categories: Landon Jackson Real Estate, Real Estate News, San Diego Developments
If you are considering moving Downtown San Diego or currently live Downtown this will brighten your day and possibly allow you to catch a few more Z’s at night.
“The Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) is submitting an application to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for the establishment of a Quiet Zone at downtown San Diego’s 13 grade crossings (Park Boulevard to Laurel Street).
Downtown San Diego, like many urban environments, has had a substantial increase in people living adjacent to railroad tracks and crossings. Noise and safety at downtown’s rail crossings have become major concerns for residents and for CCDC. The Federal Government, through the FRA, has finalized legislation to limit the noise from train horns in residential areas. CCDC is moving forward with an application to designate downtown a Quiet Zone, and expects to complete the project by spring 2008. In order to establish a Quiet Zone, the railroad crossings are improved with safety enhancements such as additional gates and warning lights. “
I have lived downtown for the past 5 years and have dealt with Planes, Trains and Automobile noise. Living in the city you will become accustom to the noise and after a while it all seems to blend in. For those who live right next to the tracks, hang tight because help is on the way.
Some of the best properties Downtown San Diego are a stones throw from the railroad tracks. After the quiet zone is implemented I expect to see more sales activity within some of these developments.

February 15th, 2008 Categories: Buy San Diego, Little Italy, San Diego Developments
CityMark development has done it again with Aperture in Little Italy San Diego.
Aperture opened its doors to the first of its residents in November 0f 2007. Construction began in Fall of 2005 and finished right before the new year. Aperture is located on Union And Beech in Little Italy and is already on a path to receiving high acclaim like the previous award wining Doma that was completed in 2003.City Mark Development has a unique approach to architecture and you will see for yourself when you walk into the lobby of any of their developments. The combination of exposed concrete, trendy light fixtures and floor to ceiling glass gives a most desirable feeling to both residents and guest.
Aperture is a great addition to the wonderful Little Italy subdivision. As an owner of a City Mark property I can honestly say they have a functional and fresh approach to their buildings.

City Mark Development will build Pier on Kettner Blvd in Little Italy San Deigo
January 28th, 2008 Categories: Buy San Diego, Little Italy, San Diego Developments
In the next few months, CityMark Development LLC and CLB Partners will break ground on Pier, the firm’s third condominium development in Little Italy.
The building follows the Downtown trend of mixed use, retail on the ground floors and residence above; that’s based on the way old European cities are built. But it has a distinctly modern look; two towers that will hold 230 units and 10,500 square feet of retail space. Designed by Martinez + Cutri, Pier will have three distinct areas, all reminiscent of cargo ships, the pier and sailboats that dot the bay in its sight lines.
It’s a landmark building inspired by the bay and the tradition of this great neighborhood,” says CityMark principal Russ Haley. “We have a lot invested in this community and Pier will be our absolute signature building.”
Pier will rise at the site of the old Metro Volkswagen Audi dealership, on Kettner between Fir and Grape streets. To the west, residents will have a view of the landmark County Administration Building and a front seat for the development of the North Embarcadero project, an effort of the city, county and Port that will transform the waterfront in a more pedestrian friendly environment. The Trolley and Amtrak stations are within a few blocks.
