The Pacific Beacon Development Plan

Pacific Beacon is a joint venture between the Department of the Navy and Clark
Realty Capital. Together, the partnership will own and operate the community for
the next 50 years. Clark and its affiliates will manage the development, design,
construction, and asset management of Pacific Beacon. Pinnacle has been hired
to provide property management services. Torti Gallas and Partners will serve as
the architect and master planner.

New Construction

The new construction at Pacific Beacon will feature four, eighteen-story towers with 941 dual-master suite apartments that each average 960 SF. Two Sailors will share an apartment, with each enjoying their own master suite, walk-in closet, and private bathroom. The apartments boast energy-efficient, fully-equipped eat-in kitchens, convenient in-suite washers and dryers, light-filled living rooms, and balconies that embrace the near-perfect climate of the region. Residences will feature all of the comfort, style, and privacy of a place that Sailors will proudly call home.

Amenities

Community amenities have been designed with the active Sailor life in mind and include a Sky Terrace with heated resort style pool and hot tub, rooftop lounge with fire, pits, barbecues and spectacular views. Wi-Fi café with coffee bar and sandwich shop, 9,000 square feet of fitness space with aerobics and free weights and much more! Outdoor amenities take advantage of San Diego’s ideal weather, including an athletic field, a running path, basketball courts, sand volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, BBQ areas, and a Courtyard surrounded by lush landscape. Pacific Beacon’s “at ease” lifestyle will help keep Sailors safe and comfortable in quintessential San Diego style.

Repositioning of Palmer Hall

The Pacific Beacon PPV also includes the repositioning of an existing 258-unit bachelor quarter residence hall called Palmer Hall. Improvements will include the addition of a state of the art Technology Resource Center. Combined with professional Pacific Beacon property management, these improvements will help extend the “at ease” lifestyle to the unaccompanied Sailors at Palmer Hall.

Customized for Sailor Life

The Pacific Beacon team conducted focus groups with current unaccompanied Sailors to understand Sailor life and learn how to create the world’s best community for single enlisted service members. This research led to many amenities and programmatic elements that are customized to Sailor life.

For example, practical considerations for life on land include secure dry storage for Sailors on deployment, oversized elevators to accommodate peak move-in/ move-out periods, and ample opportunities for Sailors to relax after the stress of the work day.

Making Education a Priority

Sailors know that continuing their education is critical for career advancement in today’s Navy. As a result, Pacific Beacon places a heavy emphasis on education, with such features as on-site classrooms in which accredited educational institutions will provide college courses, technology resource centers where residents can use computer equipment to further their education, and built-in desks in each bedroom where students will be able to study and access Pacific Beacon’s high-speed network.

Building Camaraderie and Rapport

Pacific Beacon provides a relaxed, “at ease” setting where Sailors can connect with fellow shipmates on land to build a camaraderie so critical to their mission at sea. At Pacific Beacon, residents can relax or play a game of football on the magnificent Front Lawn, enjoy a movie in one of our outdoor movie events, play pool in the Game Room Mezzanine, or catch up with friends in Clark’s signature Wi-Fi Lounge & Café.

Meeting the Unique Needs of the Military

Pacific Beacon will be the world’s premier home for unaccompanied Sailors because it meets the unique needs of the military, down to the finest detail. In all, Pacific Beacon creates a setting of unparalleled amenity, providing Sailors with a modern, comfortable lifestyle in a relaxed, contemporary setting.
