FEATURED CAMPAIGN
Turquoise Tower
Project Vela
A proposed 23-story tower in North Pacific Beach, near the La Jolla border would include 74 residential units, 10 of which are affordable, and 139 visitor accommodation units.
NFABC believes this project raises unresolved legal, infrastructure, public-safety, and housing-policy questions that deserve careful review.
IN THE NEWS
“High Rise. High Stakes” - Union-Tribune Opinion
The San Diego Union-Tribune featured opposing views on the proposed Turquoise Tower. NFABC argues that a 23-story projectominated by visitor accommodations does little to address San Diego’s affordability crisis.
