The partially built structures at Mission Gateway could sit untouched for another year or more as the site’s future remains ensnared in court. But instead of reaching a decision that would allow the site to be sold and future development plans to be considered, the judge suggested a trial may be necessary. Two years ago, the Mission City Council approved a $268 million mixed-use project that would’ve included a 90,000-square-foot Cinergy Entertainment complex, 50,000 square feet of commercial or restaurant space, 370 apartment units and a parking garage. The second face would have included a 200-room hotel and 100,000 square feet of office space or a medical facility. But the plans never materialized because of more than $449,000 in unpaid taxes and a foreclosure lawsuit. The city of Mission ultimately pulled the plug on its tax incentives and tossed its fifth iteration of a redevelopment agreement with the developer last February.
