Landfill in Carson to Be Cleaned for Development
Owners of a former landfill in Carson have received approval from city officials to start cleaning up the site in preparation for building the mixed-use Carson Marketplace development along the San Diego Freeway between Avalon and Del Amo boulevards.
Developers LNR Property Corp. and Hopkins Real Estate Group said they would spend $115 million over 36 months to prepare the former Cal Compact Inc. landfill for construction of 1,200 housing units, a 200-room hotel and 1.3 million square feet of retail space, including a multiplex theater and restaurants.
The 157-acre landfill closed in 1965. It has been the subject of several proposed developments, including a professional football stadium and factory outlet center.
