Notable Quotes:

“I’m really excited about what I’m seeing here, because what I see is opportunity. Opportunity for more folks to be able to live in our city at a price they can afford … This gives people hope, a real sense that change is coming, and that there is a future for them here in this city.”

Todd Gloria, Mayor at San Diego

“We’re in for the long run. We’re building a small number of high-quality homes for people who need them. We’re not changing the world, but we like to think we’re doing our part to help create a better San Diego for all of us. We’re focused on urban infill, workforce housing, and transforming underutilized lots. We’re building affordable homes for the people who make up the fabric of San Diego — nurses, teachers, military personnel, first-responders, tradesmen, and others.”

Daniel Shkolnik, CEO at Atlas West
