Housing & Office Space

The City Heights Initiative includes the redevelopment project known as the “Urban Village.” During the development of the police substation, Sol Price entered into an agreement with San Diego City Manager Jack McGrory to redevelop a blighted block southeast of University and Fairmount. The Urban Village included the construction of a library; an outdoor theatre; park area and playground; a recreation center; tennis courts and a swimming pool; a preschool; and a continuing education center. William Jones developed the Urban Village Shopping Center, anchored by an Albertsons grocery store. Completed before the millennium, the Urban Village represents tangible and highly visible improvements to the community creating confidence and hope for the future.

In 2000, Sol and Helen Price founded the “San Diego Revitalization Corporation” (later renamed Price Charities) to develop residential and commercial real estate in City Heights. The first project included the City Heights Center, which houses non-profit organizations and brought jobs and public services to the community and the Village Townhomes, which brought quality housing at affordable prices. The second project, known as the Metro Career Center, consisted of 120 housing units and an 82,000 square foot office building. The project was completed in 2004 and later sold. In 2005, Price Charities purchased property on the northwest corner of Fairmount and University and began the third project in three phases. The first phase, completed in 2007, is a 150 unit affordable senior housing complex, owned and operated by Senior Community Centers of San Diego. The second phase, opened in August 2010, is a La Maestra Community Clinic. The third phase, to be completed in the October 2011, will be a mixed use, housing over commercial facility to be owned and operated by Price Charities.
