Riverwalk redo

The Vision: Mission Valley’s Riverwalk Golf Course is getting a total reboot as a master-planned community with up to 4,000 housing units, up to 1 million square feet of office space, a new trolley stop, and an 80-acre park.

The Players: The Levi-Cushman family, who owns this 200-acre plot, is working with Houston-based developer Hines to take the proposed project through the San Diego City Council approval process over the next several years.

The Wrinkle: Community workshops about the project will no doubt vet concerns about increased density and more traffic. Also, this area along the San Diego River is infamously flood-prone.

The Endgame: The golf course is expected to stay in business until construction starts in 2021. The residences could be ready for occupancy by late 2022.
