The Gaslamp Quarter and Horton Plaza represent two of downtown’s earliest success stories. Both possess significant draws for entertainment, shopping, arts and culture, and dining and have served as catalysts for redevelopment of other downtown neighborhoods.

The Gaslamp has emerged as San Diego’s prime entertainment destination. Horton Plaza is a draw for tourists and residents, and its signature open air mall was built as part of San Diego’s first redevelopment efforts and served to bring people back downtown.
