For more than four years, a fence near the intersection of Mission Gorge Road and Old Cliffs Road has marked the boundary for the future home of one of San Diego’s largest apartment projects, a massive complex proposed by billionaire developer G.H. Palmer. Now, three years after the projected 2023 grand opening, the permits have expired. Only the fence and a massive hole behind it remain, with little to no word on what the future will be for the large-scale housing development.Billionaire Geoffrey Palmer, owner of Beverly Hills-based G.H. Palmer Associates, bought 22 acres on Mission Gorge Road for $48.6 million in 2019, with plans to build nearly 996 apartment units, commercial space and parks. In the midst of the pandemic, developers, including Palmer, stopped construction on numerous projects throughout San Diego and the state. Yet, while work on other large-scale developments in San Diego resumed, the hole along Mission Gorge Road remains unfilled.Times of San Diego wanted to find out the status of the project and reached out to G.H. Palmer for comment. However, a project manager was unavailable for an interview.Richard Berg, senior public information officer for the city of San Diego, said that building and grading permits for the project have expired. According to Berg, there is talk of getting the project moving again, but there is no new application or submittal for permits at the moment.The project is not G.H. Palmer’s only one in San Diego. The developer, who has built apartments all over Los Angeles, has a site in Kearny Mesa. In recent years, owner Geoff Palmer has voiced his concerns over many of the state and city of San Diego’s affordable housing requirements. In September 2023, Palmer sued the city over affordable housing. Palmer requested that the company be exempt from the city’s Inclusionary Affordable Housing Requirement. The city denied his request.A federal judge dismissed his lawsuit on Jan. 16 of this year, as reported by CBS 8. Palmer faced another significant court case, filed by tenants and settled in December 2022.
Palmer paid $12.5 million to end the class action lawsuit in which tenants accused the landlord of allegedly falsifying cleaning and maintenance invoices as a way to keep portions of their security deposits.This story will be updated with a response from the company and a new construction timeline for the Mission Gorge development.
