Santa Cruz Changes - 9: 418-508 Front Street

Above: developer's rendering of the pedestrian plaza that will run through from Front Street to the levee.

This is the most-recently-approved major mixed-use development in downtown Santa Cruz. As of April, 2021, construction has not begun. Stretching along the river (east) side of Front Street opposite the end of Cathcart Street and the Metro Center, it will replace three older commercial buildings and three parking lots. Below is a 2017 view of the plaza area from Cathcart Street:


Below is the developer's plan view on the plaza level (shown w 4 parallel blue/magenta dotted lines). Above that level, the structure splits into 3 towers.
