Safety Alert!

You may have had a sneak peek at the Quarter Ownership site. But if you haven't, excavation is already underway!

As the new homes progress, we'll be sharing photos and updates on excavation and construction.

But for your safety, we ask that during your next visit to Pacific Shores, that only authorized personnel go behind the scenes on-site.

Please observe from a distance. We don't want anyone rolled over or scooped up!
