Next week the Ice Blocks Project will be up for review with the
Preservation Commission. The Ice Blocks by Heller Pacific, Inc., develops
three half-blocks consisting of 142 residential units, 63,900 square feet of commercial
uses and approximately 54,853 square feet of office. Block 1 of the three block
project is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.

If all goes as
planned, the building on R Street between 16th and 18th
streets could start construction as early as September. This $80 million
project has been in the planning stages for the past 20 years but either a
tumbling economy or bureaucrat opposition stopped the project. With city crews
completing the multimillion-dollar upgrade of R Street, this will help cap the
end of a growing and evolving district.
