Santa Cruz Changes 114: Looking ahead to 2025




A number of projects written about here have started or continued construction in 2024, and some are expected (hoping?) to reach completion in 2025. 


The photo above-right is a Dec. 25 view of La Bahia. Projects to watch include:

  1.  La Bahia Hotel (Changes 35, "Beach Street", and Changes 51, "The Spring Has Sprung")
  2.  Rail Trail segment from California Street to Pacific Avenue (Changes: 49 - Rail Trail 2022)
Others could be completed in 2025, but we'll see, including:

  1. Pacific Station North (Changes 22)
  2. 418-508 Front Street (Changes 9)
  3. Capitola Avenue overpass [Highway 1] (Changes 84)
  4. Kresge College, UCSC (Changes 106)
  5. 111 Errett Circle housing (Changes 60)
No predictions on which of the many proposals still in the planning/permitting stages will actually break ground in 2025. Those events will be reported as they happen.
