SDUT October 23, 2025: Owner of the Westfield UTC-adjacent property is moving forward with demolition plans after securing a land-use change that allows for residential units to be built on the 13-acre site.
The owner of the Costa Verde Center just opposite Westfield UTC is, following the removal of a commercial land-use restriction, now preparing to raze the shuttered strip mall in the coming months to eventually make way for an urban village-style neighborhood with thousands of residences alongside ground-floor shops and eateries.
Tuesday, San Diego City councilmembers voted unanimously to remove the 13-acre property from the Costa Verde Specific Plan, which governs what can be built on the site, and to approve a new map that divides the property into 13 different parcels.
