Taxpayers remain on the hook for millions in maintenance, legal fees and bond payments
One year has passed since a head-spinning week of political decision-making all but shuttered the civil litigation and criminal investigation into the former Sempra Energy headquarters at 101 Ash St., now perhaps the most notorious address in San Diego city history. In the span of a single work week, San Diego’s elected leadership put an end to a yearslong real estate saga that had already cost taxpayers at least $150 million.
It has also become the subject of multiple lawsuits, counterclaims and a criminal investigation. Over the next months and years, the depth of the failures by city officials and others would become clearer through public records, deposition testimony and other sources. Faulconer had overruled a recommendation to purchase the building outright and chose instead to enter a complicated lease arrangement, internal city emails showed. Elliott's office had signed off on a questionable lease.
