Horton Plaza

Considered the keystone of the downtown San Diego redevelopment efforts, Horton set the precedent for the convenience, luxury, and opportunities that downtown now offers. Located at the center of downtown, this distinctive district has been named after Alonzo Erastus Horton, a developer whose visions helped spawn contemporary San Diego. Horton Plaza, a spacious, open-air mall, and the Balboa Theater, soon to be restored to its former historic glory, help distinguish this district as one that provides ample shopping, history and entertainment. In addition to many commercial spaces, such as the SBC and NBC offices, luxury hotels and condominiums are available for those looking to be in the center of the action. Horton Plaza Park provides a hint of nature to this cultural urban setting.
