Redevelopment of Fireman's Fund Campus
American Assets, Inc., a San Diego based real estate investment and development company, has submitted a proposal to redevelop the Fireman's Fund Office Campus located on San Marin Drive. The project, referred to as The Commons at Mount Burdell, proposes a comprehensive redevelopment of the 65-acre Fireman's Fund campus, which is currently developed with three office buildings totaling 710,000 sq. ft. and approximately 1,800 parking stalls located in surface parking lots.
The proposed project would retain the existing office buildings and add approximately 700,000 sq. ft. of new development, including: office and retail space, hotel/meeting center, health club, community facility, and multi-family residential units (150 units). The project would locate new development where surface parking lots currently exist at the project site. The project would rely on underground and structured parking facilities to meet parking demand. The project has been designed with the goal of achieving carbon neutral building operations, relying on passive and active measures to meet the energy, heating/cooling, water, and solid waste disposal needs of the development. A number of City approvals are required for the project, including a General Plan amendment to allow the proposed increase in development on the site.
For more information, please contact Steve Marshall, Senior Planner via email.
