East Village High-Rise Pipeline
East Village, Downtown San Diego
A neighborhood-wide collection of residential developments, not one tower or a single developer's master plan. The original article describes market-rate and affordable housing at different stages; individual permits, construction starts and completions must be checked separately.[20]

01
What the pipeline includes
AMSI's March 18, 2026 overview groups together high-rise residential proposals, approvals, construction and completed buildings across East Village. It describes private developers, institutional investors and public-private partnerships rather than a common master developer.[20]
The City maintains a separate downtown development log and activity map, updated in July 2026. These distinguish projects under discretionary review, building-permit review, construction and completion; the downtown-wide totals should not be relabeled as East Village totals.[4][12]

Neighborhood connections and attribution
The source places this activity near Petco Park, downtown transit, walkable services, emerging retail and new public spaces. Its planning theme is added housing capacity alongside neighborhood amenities, not a measured forecast of population or retail demand.[20]
AMSI credits its accompanying image to Kilroy Realty. That image credit does not identify Kilroy as developer of the entire pipeline, and no property-specific photograph is supplied here.[20]

Convention Center Expansion
A funded repair program and a potential physical expansion are separate undertakings. A February 2026 City resolution allocates $21,402,788 for existing-building infrastructure; it does not authorize construction of a larger convention center.
