42亿美元Midway Rising重建项目获市议会委员会一致推进：4200套住宅刷新可负担房纪录
位于加州 San Diego 的市议会土地利用与住房委员会10月16日以4比0全票通过，把耗资42亿美元的 Midway Rising 重建项目送交市议会全体审议。据 Voice of San Diego 报道，该项目计划把 Midway 区约48.5英亩的市有体育馆地块改造为混合用途社区，新建4200多套住宅，其中2000多套以契约限定为低收入工薪家庭可负担住房，另建一座1.6万座位的娱乐场馆、约20英亩公共绿地与底层商铺。该项目被市议会委员会称为 San Diego 历史上最大的单笔可负担住房承诺。
委员会推进时附加了一项修正：要求项目方确保配建的可负担住房是净新增，不能把其他开发商本来就要交付的可负担住房指标接收过来计入本项目。此前有报道披露，原方案没有写入这一限制，引发争议。开发团队成员 Zephyr Partners 的 Brad Termini 在书面声明中表示，很荣幸获得土地利用与住房委员会4比0的一致支持，期待在未来几周向市议会全体介绍这个变革性项目。市议会全体投票预计在未来几周内进行。
$4.2 Billion Midway Rising Redevelopment Advances Unanimously in Council Committee: 4,200 Homes Set Affordable Housing Record
The San Diego City Council's Land Use and Housing Committee in California voted 4-0 on October 16 to advance the $4.2 billion Midway Rising redevelopment project to the full City Council. According to Voice of San Diego, the project would transform the roughly 48.5-acre city-owned Sports Arena site in the Midway District into a mixed-use community with more than 4,200 homes, including more than 2,000 deed-restricted affordable homes for lower-income working families, a new 16,000-seat entertainment arena, about 20 acres of public parkland and ground-floor retail. Committee members described it as the largest single affordable housing commitment in San Diego's history.
The committee advanced the deal with one significant amendment requiring the development team to ensure the affordable homes are net-new, rather than receiving affordable units other developers were already obligated to deliver and counting them toward the project. Reporting before the vote had disclosed that the proposed deal did not include such a restriction, which became controversial. Brad Termini of Zephyr Partners, part of the development team, said in a written statement that the team was honored to receive the committee's unanimous 4-0 vote and looked forward to presenting the transformational project to the full City Council in the weeks ahead.
