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.

Why This Work Matters

Housing decisions affect more than the number of units built. They shape affordability, infrastructure, public safety, evacuation capacity, public services, and community trust.
