PROJECT CONCEPT: VISION “San Diego Bay has a very special scale: ample and yet intimately enclosed, changing its quality with every shift of light. The sunset is visible; one sees the relation of land and water; the city center can be seen from a distance, in its maritime setting” - Temporary Paradise? Kevin Lynch, Donald Appleyard The Bay symbolizes San Diego. It connects us with environment, economy, recreation and history. We envision the new Embarcadero District as a vibrant urban place on the Bay that further links land to water, walkable streets to shores, people to parkspace and history to bright future. The Embarcadero District will complement San Diego’s natural advantages of situation, climate, and scenery with visionary architecture, meaningful open spaces, and sustainable learn-work-play uses. It is carefully crafted by a world-class team to be an unparalleled expression of planning and design. It contemplates the development to weave within the fabric of the broader waterfront and City by connecting and integrating as opposed to dividing and isolating as an individual site. The Embarcadero District will be a defining project for the skyline, city, and waterfront. This proposal envisions a mixture of appropriate, sustainable, and prosperous uses to activate the Embarcadero District. It increases and extends public open space along the waterfront to optimize public access, views and connectivity. It seamlessly links the urban grid to the waterfront and provides outstanding pedestrian access. It also recognizes an opportunity for openness. This vision integrates with the Bayfront master plan and links to a necklace of cultural anchors. It contemplates uses that increase development potential and proceeds for this site, other Port District land, and for the City as a whole. Above all, we envision this process to be collaborative. What follows is an initial massing concept - should our team be selected, we look forward to working closely with the Port District to bring an ideal vision to fruition.

A select service hotel offers outstanding location and views at a price point that serves a broad group of guests and is consistent with jurisdictional requirements for coastal lodging. SEAPORT PAVILION EVENTS & ENTERTAIN<strong>ME</strong>NT: 15,000-18,000 SEATS Situated along one of the largest and most beautiful harbors in the world, this event venue immediately transforms the Embarcadero District into an iconic destination that brings new events and visitors while also driving tremendous economic development.

A facility of this caliber will attract the most popular concerts, important sporting events and a variety of programming that would appeal to domestic and international audiences alike, making it a must play venue in the region. EMBARCADERO MARKETPLACE: 35,000-75,000 SF The Embarcadero Marketplace features artisans and purveyors with fresh prepared foods, sweets, specialties, fish & produce, arts & crafts, and learning events. Chefs, artists, and craftspeople will have an opportunity to interactively create on site. Classes provide learning opportunities. It will be a center of food, art and culture that further attracts residents and visitors to the waterfront along the Embarcadero. URBAN BAYFRONT RETAIL & RESTAURANT: 200,000-250,000 SF Eclectic indoor-outdoor spaces provide an opportunity to eat, shop, and explore. Maintaining the best of Seaport Village today, while adding niche favorites, urban fashion, and lifestyle shops that are punctuated by chic cafes, farm-to-table bistros, breezy brunch cafés, cozy lounges and hip coffee shops.

It is a unique environmental learning and observation destination wrapped within world class architectural design. Residents and visitors can learn about the environment and ecology with a particular focus on water-based considerations such as climate change and sea level rise. Tide pools weave interactive learning into daily experience by providing an opportunity to visit, look, and learn how environmental conditions influence development of species. SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY: 2,000-5,000 SF The San Diego Symphony makes music an integral part of the cultural and intellectual fabric of Southern California through a rich mixture of innovative and educational programming oriented to participants of all ages. This inspiring space will be donated as a learning/educational opportunity to assist the Symphony achieve its mission on and off the water. The significant activity within the Embarcadero District will bring increased attention and audience to the Symphony. The space will connect Bayfront visitors to the Symphony Experience at Symphony Hall and at the new Summer Pops facility at Embarcadero Marina South with information and intimate performances. OPEN SPACES, WATER ACCESS & HISTORIC CAROUSEL: 20-24 ACRES The Embarcadero DIstrict will feature public parks, plazas and open spaces with sculpted landforms, softened edges and multiple opportunities to embrace the waterfront. The landscape design will transform perspectives and evoke emotional responses to create unique and unforgettable sensory experiences. Regionally appropriate landscaping will enhance sustainable practices on site. The existing carousel will remain as an historic favorite across many generations. Park space will increase significantly from the current site and provide for a variety of active and passive uses. The current location of Ruocco park will be enlarged and reconfigured to the southwest to increase the amount of public open space directly adjacent to the water. A network of plazas, promenades, walkways, naturalized & manicured & pet areas, and children’s & botanical gardens, will extend along the water. MARINA: 50-100 SLIPS The Embarcadero District Marina serves as a celebrated point of arrival to downtown while further connecting Harbor Island, Coronado, Point Loma and the Embarcadero to a network of waterfront linkages, provided that an appropriately agreed location for existing commercial fishing operations is determined. Space is provided for recreational users and commercial operations. Private boaters will be able to use with slips of various lengths, widths, and configurations to accommodate a range of mooring requirements including large yachts. Other slips will be provided for ‘dock n diners’ who want to stop briefly and enjoy shops and restaurants on land. Planning uses and spaces concurrently with the Harbor Island redevelopment provides an ideal opportunity to coordinate and enhance connectivity as well as economic growth at both locations. Imagine a visitor arriving at the airport then boarding a water taxi from Harbor Island to their hotel at the Embarcadero, Coronado, or Point Loma. Coordinated view boats and cruises could bring visitors and residents around the bay from their hotel to favorite restaurant without needing to use a car. PARKING: 2,200-2,500 SPACES Parking is carefully integrated into the site to be functionally and economically beneficial, without negatively impacting design or pedestrian experience. Sufficient quantities of spaces will be provided to serve visitor needs. On the G Street Mole and Embarcadero, parking will be covered with sculpted landscaping so the area can be used functionally for parking (below) as well as public park space (above). In other locations, structured parking will be integrated within blocks and laminated with active, programmed uses to allow for a vibrant active urban space along streets and walkways. Our goal is to create forward thinking, adaptable parking areas to accommodate current requirements as well as future needs. In the event there’s decreased dependence on individual cars in the future, parking areas may be adaptively reused to become active program spaces. There is an opportunity to add more parking in specific locations if desired by the Port District as an area of enhancement for the good of the greater area.
