East Harbor Island Redevelopment/Topgolf and Waterfront Park Project (formerly East Harbor Island Redevelopment/Topgolf Project and Port Master Plan Amendment)

The East Harbor Island Redevelopment project, managed by the San Diego Unified Port District, involves the transformation of approximately 19.9 to 38 acres of land in San Diego, California. The scope of work includes the demolition of three rental car and airport construction staging facilities, the realignment of Liberator Way, and the development of two primary components: a 10.1-acre waterfront park and promenade providing public coastal access, and a 9.8-acre Topgolf visitor attraction. The Topgolf facility will feature a 67,030-square-foot three-story building with 108 hitting bays, restaurants, bars, a rooftop entertainment area, and a 4.5-acre turf outfield enclosed by netting poles reaching up to 170 feet. Extensive technical planning has been conducted to support the project, including a Draft Environmental Impact Report and a Port Master Plan Amendment. Key assessments cover geotechnical hazards, sea-level rise projections through 2150, and utility impacts, including the installation of a 12-inch looped public water line and upgraded sewer systems. Environmental studies have addressed air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise levels, and biological resources. The project also includes a comprehensive parking analysis providing 289 spaces for Topgolf and a Stormwater Quality Management Plan to ensure compliance with regional permits. Coordination with local agencies has confirmed the availability of electric and gas services via SDG&E, as well as fire and police services through the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department and the Harbor Police Department.
