Opinion: San Diego officials must sweat details on the Midway project to replace the sports arena [Opinion]
Full San Diego City Council approval seems close to certain next week after the council’s Land Use and Housing Committee’s unanimous vote Thursday to back Mayor Todd Gloria’s recommended developer — a team of companies called Midway Rising — for the 48-acre sports arena site in the Midway area.
But instead of the site’s rebirth being cause for celebration, the fast-tracking is cause for concern. While the developer’s proposal to build a 16,000-seat arena, 250 middle-income units, 2,000 market-rate units, a 200-room hotel, 4,500 parking spaces and 20 acres of plaza and park space seems highly promising, the city’s long history of botched real-estate deals hangs over the approval process.
