The development is expected to unfold in four phases over a 20-year period, with the first buildings anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025. 

The first phase of the San Diego Airpark development is estimated to cost $100m, with the entire project cost being covered by the developer, San Diego Airpark, LLC.  

San Diego Airpark will be developed on 331 acres of land at Brown Field Municipal Airport. The airport opened in 1918 and was initially named East Field.
