San Diego Convention Center Phase III Expansion Project

This section will provide information about the proposed Hotel and Phase 3 expansion of the San Diego Convention Center and the Port's role, public documents as well as planning and environmental review processes.

On April 6, 2010, the Board of Port Commissioners granted its consent to the San Diego Convention Center Corporation to acquire Fifth Avenue Landing's leasehold that was needed to pursue entitlements for the Convention Center's expansion.

The Board approved a resolution consenting to a $12.5 million Deed of Trust secured by the leasehold interest. Additionally, the Board granted an amended lease to the San Diego Convention Center Corporation that expires June 30, 2024.

An ordinance granting a new 20-year lease, with two five-year options to extend, to Fifth Avenue Landing for a water transportation center and land improvements was also approved.

Collectively, these actions provide a framework for the Convention Center to work with the Port to design and entitle the expansion project, including its environmental review.

The Mayor's Citizen Task Force estimated that the expansion is expected to generate $698 million of economic activity annually in addition to the $1.3 billion a year the Convention Center already generates.
