Future San Diego High-Rises

As of the end of September, San Diego had about 1 million square feet of vacant office space, about three fourths of which is in high-rise buildings.

The following are five of the office high-rise projects that are tentatively scheduled to be completed in the next two to three years.

Symphony Towers On the block bounded by 7th and 8th avenues and A and B streets.

A $143.5-million complex that includes a 34-story office tower, which will make it the city’s tallest building, and a 24-story hotel. Located on the site of Symphony Hall, which will be retained, the office building will have 620,000 square feet of gross leaseable office space.

A $200-million project of two office towers, with a combined 700,000 square feet; a 335-room high-rise hotel and about 30 residential units. The first 20-story office tower, with about 300,000 square feet, already has one preleased tenant, the law firm of Jennings Engstrand & Henrikson.
