From CBS8 October 22, 2025 : After sitting vacant for years across from UTC Mall, the long-blighted strip mall is set for a major makeover.
For years, the Costa Verde Shopping Center, located in the heart of University City, has stood as a glaring eyesore, with its boarded-up windows, faded signs and empty storefronts.
Now, after years of stalled plans, there’s finally movement. On Tuesday, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved a major redevelopment plan for the 14-acre site, clearing the way for demolition to begin as soon as next year.
