W E Short & Associates operates as a Point Loma real estate development firm from Hancock Street in the Midway District San Diego, focusing on project acquisition, entitlement, and disposition across the 92110 submarket. Development-stage projects require general-contractor coordination from the feasibility phase forward, and the firm works with builders such as Complete Builders Inc to align construction budgets with pro-forma return targets before capital commitment. The Midway District's evolving community plan update has introduced new height allowances and mixed-use zoning designations, creating development opportunities on parcels that were previously capped at low-density commercial use. Entitlement navigation requires land-use counsel for conditional-use permits, environmental review, and CEQA compliance — processes that run through real estate attorneys such as Cannavino Law, APC. The most capital-intensive projects involve assembling adjacent Midway parcels under the updated specific plan, securing density-bonus entitlements, and delivering vertical mixed-use construction on sites zoned for up to 30 stories under the 2023 community plan revision.
