The District at South Bay

Carson, California

The District at South Bay is a 157-acre brownfield redevelopment project being constructed on a former landfill that is subject to the oversight of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. The site will transform the former landfill, commonly known as the Cal Compact Landfill, into a regional retail destination, including 1.83 million square feet for neighborhood commercial, regional commercial (including outlet commercial), recreation/entertainment, restaurant, hotel, and residential development.
