Corridor of high-rise buildings will drastically change the downtown San Diego skyline
If you have recently walked or driven around East Village, more specifically, around the Park Boulevard and Eleventh Street corridor, you may have noticed what seems to be a lot of cranes and construction activity.
Construction crews at these sites began excavating almost without warning and little did we know that what they were working on will change our skyline for generations to come.
You are probably just as curious as we are to find out what these buildings will eventually end up looking like and what each building will consist of.
