These men are the worst!! They have no respect for building in harmony with the existing architecture or topography of the zip codes!! They are single-handedly destroying the skyline of Mission Hills! All their houses and multi-unit buildings are oversized and overbuilt. They belong in downtown LA or larger cities and not here in San Diego. It’s a shame what they are buying their way through our charming neighborhoods to get built! The worst one so far but not the last is the one on the corner of Washington and Goldfinch!!!

All one needs to do is drive by NDD's projects to see they are a cut above other developers. Every one of their properties is uniquely designed to fit perfectly into its neighborhood and environment. When so many out there are constructing cookie cutter boxes it's fantastic to see someone who cares to put in the extra time, effort and expense to create amazing designs. NDD projects add greatly to our community!

NDD is a truly professional group. Family owned and operated, they take tremendous pride in their projects, push design and architecture to high standards and develop community based assets that enhance neighborhoods. Lucky to have firms like NDD in San Diego creating special places for people to live, work and play.

An ongoing nightmare with NDD developers/contractors next door to my property. Make sure to get every agreement in writing signed & dated. Promises made are later denied for various reasons. Do not expect them to honor promises made while smiling at you & shaking your hand nor in emails thinking that you have an agreement with them.

NDD took out the retaining wall between the properties in September 2017 without any notice to me. They & the City of SD claimed that they were doing "landscape removal". Although my property is on much higher ground (15 feet higher) they left no support for my property for months. Then NDD brothers came to convince me to take down my fence misrepresenting their intentions, time frame, promises were made to install a better fence of my choice; replacement of the retaining walls with a time frame of 4-6 weeks. As of March 6, 2019, 20 months later the retaining walls are not heightened, the fence is a chain link ; NDD is cutting the rebar that was to heighten the too low stem wall/retaining wall to adequately hold up my soil so that I can replant leaving it at a dangerous slant.

NDD had very large crane swinging over my property/building/garden with large loads of wood for their construction reaching to the 3rd floor; audacity going over my property & not theirs. September 5, 2018 NDD repeated: Dixieline trucks full of wood in front of my apartment building & the crane 10 feet from my living room windows! The subcontractor could have done this all in front of NDD property or the large driveway between Leon at Laurel & the Truax house.

NDD told me that they were busy with their building/construction when I asked why the fence & completion of restoring my property was not done in the 4-6 weeks they promised me in February 2018. NDD stated that they did want me to be listed as a rider on their insurance as the insurance certificate.

In the last email I received from their attorney Simone Riley of Hahn & Hahn RE: Questions /concerns NDD Truax & Leon at Laurel/SD CA dated
Aug 30, 12:55 PM "NDD will not reimburse you for the costs you requested to remove sawdust. (I came home on a Saturday evening to find the west end of my property covered with an inch of sawdust.)"

"NDD did not knock over your malva assurgentiflora tree, and therefore NDD will not recommend a solution for this problem, or pay for it." (After they moved the construction fence I found the tree knocked over laying on the ground.)

"With regard to matters concerning NDD's property, although they may be of interest to you, NDD will not engage in a conversation with you about such matters. Further, because the remainder of the project only affects NDD's property, we will not be communicating with you further. Construction on NDD's property will continue in accordance with the plans and permits issued for the development." (NDD is directly next to me.) The retaining walls remain incomplete, the construction fence is tied by a wire to my tree & redwood fence, the bases of the construction fence still on my property. NDD refuses to give me a finish date or put my soil level back to what it was before the excavated. Nima Nakhshab told me they were "ignoring" me; they "do not like your attitude" & are going to install the "ugliest worse fence" & "worse landscaping" to block rest of y view N. Nima stated that he would "honor" adding the needed height to the retaining wall so that my soil level could be restored to what is was previously. It is now at a very steep, unsafe for me to use or walk level & put in a small retaining wall where there is none now behind the Truax house. Rains have caused soil erosion. Nima stated had stated that he has" not decided" what NDD is doing between the properties. No respect for me as property owner, woman & senior.

The Historic Truax house, now painted fire engine red now has a 30 foot tall box, 3-story addition about 15’ X 18’ footprint basically three boxes stacked on each other attached to the east side w/ no architectural relationship to the home stuccoed black.

NDD brings nothing but exciting and well executed projects to our city. In a city with rapid growth like San Diego, we are lucky to have developers like NDD who care about the built environment and our communities.

Great team here at Nakhshab, really good people to work with and they know how to get it done right. They care about design, but are also builders and engineers, so they have the expertise. Projects aren't overbuilt, so they're cost effective in that regard.

NDD continues to set the bar high in the redevelopment of our beautiful city! Family owned company improving the life of San Diegans one project at a time!

Was told there was only a few units left, then was left high and dry. They have a million phone numbers but no one picks up or returns calls. Maybe they're selective without even running a background check? I can't imagine how hard it would be to work with them if something went wrong with the units.
