Project will prepare the site for future redevelopment

Work has begun on a project that will clear a portion of the bayfront of Chula Vista for future redevelopment. Three industrial buildings, totaling 145,000 square feet, will be demolished. The buildings are located at Marina Parkway and Sandpiper Way, near the Chula Vista Marina.

The buildings were formerly occupied by AFS Industries, Inc., a company that made modular classroom structures. AFS Industries, Inc. leased the site from the Port of San Diego until March 2006. The buildings have been empty since then.

Port of San Diego project in Chula Vista removed 61 structures

If you regularly travel south on Interstate 5 towards Chula Vista, you may notice something different if you look off to the western horizon by the H Street exit. Gone are the old industrial buildings with boarded up windows that haven’t been used in years. Replacing the 61 buildings is an 83-acre open piece of land that is a vital component of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan.
