Liberty Station, San Diego

[4] In November 2012 Phase Two of the renovation was completed, bringing the total number of buildings successfully adapted to fifteen.

[6] The retail and commercial district of Liberty Station is divided into five sections: The Marketplace, Ocean Village, NTC Landing, Harbor Square, and Fitness Club.

The NTC Landing section of Liberty Station is located at Lytton Avenue and Truxton Road and is accessed through the iconic gate off Lytton Avenue, formerly NTC's Gate 6, whose image serves as a kind of visual symbol for all of Liberty Station.

Anchor tenants of the retail and commercial districts include Vons, Trader Joe's, and Ace Hardware.

[7] In May 2016 Boffo Cinemas opened a six-screen multiplex theater called The Lot; it is located in the renovated historic Luce Auditorium.

[8] Several of the retail establishments, including Vons and Stone Brewing, are built inside historic structures from Naval Training Center days.

Visitors can explore a variety of stalls and counters offering everything from fresh produce and gourmet foods to craft beer and specialty cocktails.

[11] Under the NTC Foundation, Sail Ho has recently been renovated by Cary Bickler who redesigned the fairways, greens, and practice facilities.

Other famous golfers who have invested their time at Sail Ho include Craig Stadler and Phil Mickelson, both of whom played junior golf tournaments here when they were young.

There are also several venues for public and private events, including the former mess hall of the Naval Training Center.

It occupies the site of the former Technical Training Center at Service School Command San Diego (Building 94, constructed 1969).

The building houses new Christian education facilities, office space, and a 3,500 seat worship center, making it one of the largest auditoriums in Southern California.

[16] Adjacent to the church is the Rock Academy, a private Christian school serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.

It consists of 52 American Liberty Elm trees, 52 flags and 52 granite memorials to the ships and men who were lost.

The project was driven by Doug Smay, whose father served in submarines during World War II.

Due to its large open areas, Liberty Station is a popular setting for 5k walk/runs sponsored by local businesses and non-profit organizations.

The City of San Diego is in the process of approving a contract with an architect to begin the community input and design phase of the project.
