New Section: One Paseo

A new section on CVSD.com: A One Paseo Overview. This is a place where I'll post information on the project and possible ideas to make this development better match the character of Carmel Valley. I hope our community ends up with more of a village feel, rather than the massive housing and retail blocks currently proposed by Kilroy. Here, you'll find a place to get independent news from a site that isn't supported by the developer, or anyone else!

One Paseo - What Kilroy is Showing Investors

One Paseo - Carmel Valley, San Diego early Kilroy proposalOne Paseo - Carmel Valley, San Diego Jan 2011 proposal

Kilroy has conveniently placed on their website (inside of a Jan 2011 Kilroy Investor's report covering San Diego) some nice overviews of the One Paseo project in Carmel Valley. So, while they show their investors this Early One Paseo Development Overview and this Later One Paseo Development Overview, they continue to show us One Paseo Marketing Imagry. Look at how massive the development is when presented to investors and compare it to the marketing fluff we get to see. Yes, I know the images are out-of-date, but the newer one isn't that far off. FWIW, I welcome any new photos from Kilroy! See the One Paseo section for more posts on this subject and the One Paseo image.
