I wrote an article some time ago about the exciting plans for the new Whole Foods Market coming to Encinitas. At the time there was still lots of debate (and there are still many folks that are not in favor, for a variety of reasons) and concerns remain about the impact on traffic, and the changing landscape of this popular coastal town.
A drive by just the other day indicates that Pacific Station construction is under way, at least getting the ground prepared and utilities in place.
Pacific Station is a $40 million dollar mixed use facility between E and F Streets along the east side of the Coast Highway (Route 101) in downtown Encinitas, right next door to Tastes, a popular wine store retailer and restaurant. The older metal warehouse that formerly occupied the side was taken apart and donated to a church group in Mexicali.
There will be about 40,000 SF of retail space which includes the Whole Foods Market (reportedly 25,000 SF), restaurants, public plazas and small shops, 9000 SF of office space, and 47 condos (from 600 to 2400 SF and including low income housing), with 2 floors of underground parking.
Pacific Station is in the heart of the dining and shopping district of Encinitas, along a major thoroughfare, easily accessible to folks in adjacent Carlsbad and Cardiff, and about 1 block from the commuter rail station. Developers are pleased to say there are many "green" design features in this project. Plans are for completion in late 2009 or early 2010. Stay tuned for more updates on the construction.
