Horton Plaza - Gaslamp Quarter
-
Named for the historic Horton Plaza Park, Downtown’s redevelopment
began with the opening of the Horton Plaza shopping and entertainment center in 1985. The 15-block area is the center of Downtown’s
commercial activity and includes high-rise office buildings, stores,
hotels, theaters and restaurants. San Diego’s Walk of Fame features
statues of Alonzo Horton, former Mayor and Governor Pete Wilson, and
Horton Plaza developer Ernest Hahn. The historic Balboa Theatre, one
of the oldest performing arts venues in San Diego, was completely restored by CCDC, on behalf of the Redevelopment Agency, and reopened
as a live performance and conference venue in 2008. Revitalization has
spilled into the Gaslamp Quarter where Alonzo Horton first encouraged
Downtown’s redevelopment in the 1870s by building a wharf at the
foot of Fifth Avenue to facilitate trade with the area’s retail stores. The
16.5-block neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, and the 94 structures
identified as historically or
architecturally significant now
house more than 100 restaurants and nightclubs, movie
theaters, stores, offices, galleries and lofts. Yearly events,
including Mardi Gras, Taste
of Gaslamp and ShamROCK
draw thousands of visitors to
experience the vibrant and
unique atmosphere.
