San Diego’s Old Police Headquarters resides at 801 W. Harbor Drive in downtown…right across from Seaport Village. The old Police Headquarters closed in 1987 and has been abandoned and neglected ever since. Slated for sometime this summer, the old police headquarters will be receiving some love and will be transformed into a public market and at least two restaurants. San Diego Port Commisioners are currently meeting with a Carlsbad development firmo over what this project will take. It is projected to be completed in a little over two years with a bill of about $40 million. At the moment the discussions between the Port and the developer are closed as they negotiate points of the lease. The building was opened in 1939, vacant since 1989, and in 1998 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building will clean-up nicely and become a waterfront highlight of downtown.
