The Ocean View Apartments occupied the site before the WTC, but the projects have been relocated to a new location.

pacificacityjun29121127.pngThe projects were simultaneously imploded at 11AM PST. Soon after, crews started clearing debris.

pacificacityjul41211274.pngDays later, construction began on the towers and roads. A portion of Pacific Ave. was closed due to road widening.

pacificacityjul61211274.pngThe Pacific Sphere is visible from the construction site. A major tourist attraction, it is expected to get 100,000-200,000 more visitors after the construction project is complete.

pacificacitysep15122127.pngOnly months later, the first towers are visible. Part of the plan also includes a subway station that will be the main hub for Pacifica's New Subway System, slated for completion in 2011.

It includes 8 Office Buildings, an IMAX Theatre, an Exhibition Hall, 2 underground parking garages with over a combined total of 6,000 parking spots, 3 Hotels, a transportation hub, and a stadium which is slated to be completed this summer. The trees are a mix of naitive trees to the area, a feature planned by architect William Austria.

Nice!  But, you could add some seawalls to make it look more urban like.  You want your people falling off do you?

Bit off topic; You stole my avatar!  One of us gotta change then.

I'm loving it! What a fantastic job! The best thing is that I've finally found a use for that strange interchange piece on the RHW 4.0 in your penultimate pic; until now, I hadn't known what was this piece for.
