The $1.6 billion Manchester Pacific Gateway project, under construction on the downtown waterfront, will be discussed at the Friends of San Diego Architecture’s monthly lecture at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 16, at the NewSchool of Architecture and Design, 1249 F St.

The speakers will be Manchester Pacific Gateway development manager Perry Dealy and Gensler architect Kevin Heinly. The public is invited to attend; the cost is $5 but free for students.

The 3-million-square-foot project, 30 years in the making, will occupy the 12-acre Navy Broadway Complex at the foot of Broadway and just north of Seaport Village. It will include a new 372,000-square-foot headquarters building for the United States Navy, two hotels, three commercial office buildings, 290,000 square feet of retail space, and a 1.9-acre public plaza at the northwest corner of the site.

Developer Doug Manchester received a 99-year lease on the property in 2006 in exchange for constructing the Navy’s general administration HQ, a $165 million, 17-story Class A office building. It is due for completion at the end of 2020 in the middle of the eight-block area. E, F, and G streets will be extended through the site and nearly 2,900 parking spaces are planned in two underground levels.
