Paris-based Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield sold two of its malls in Mission Valley to developers that have an eye toward housing
Centrally located with both freeway and trolley access already existing for the area, adding high-density residential and mixed-uses seems a good application of the under-utilized retail properties. For the live-work-play environment to function, the area needs to be enhanced by improved public spaces and plazas for a community village concept. With more walkable space essential, traffic access to and from the area still needs improvement while retaining enough needed parking.
However, I do think the city needs to evaluate traffic and parking as an issue. Too much traffic and not enough parking can create downstream issues for everyone and the traffic is already heavy in Mission ValleyNIMBYs will always claim increased traffic, parking congestion, pollution, and myriad harms with any new development of any kind. We should applaud all new market-rate housing supply, especially aimed at the missing middle.
