Turner Construction and its partners celebrated the completion of the $345 million 222 North project in San Marcos, California. This milestone marks significant progress in a large-scale mixed-use development set to transform the area. Once complete, the project will include residential units, retail spaces, and community amenities to support San Marcos’s growing population and infrastructure needs.  

The project, located near the SPRINTER rail line and City Hall, spans over 600,000 square feet and consists of four interconnected buildings. It will feature 330 residential units, approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space, and 13,000 square feet of office space. Community-focused amenities include a public plaza, parking facilities, and pedestrian-friendly pathways. By combining retail, office, and residential spaces in one development, the 222 North project aims to create a vibrant, walkable environment for locals.  

Turner Construction worked closely with developers Sea Breeze Properties and designers at Architects Orange to bring this project to life. The construction process emphasized energy-efficient design and sustainable materials to reduce the project’s environmental impact. With the structural framework now complete, the team will focus on interior finishes, landscaping, and infrastructure details as the project heads toward completion.  

A unique feature of 222 North is its commitment to seamlessly integrating public and private spaces. The development’s centerpiece is a community plaza that will serve as a hub for events, gatherings, and everyday socializing. Retail tenants, including restaurants and specialty shops, are expected to energize the space further by attracting foot traffic and creating a lively atmosphere.  

This mixed-use project represents a significant investment in San Marcos’s downtown core, supporting economic growth and revitalizing the area. During construction, 222 North created hundreds of jobs and is expected to sustain long-term economic activity once operational.  

Turner Construction’s reputation for efficiently handling large-scale projects played a key role in meeting the structural milestone on time. The topping-out event, held on the project’s site, brought together the project’s stakeholders, construction teams, and local leaders to celebrate this achievement. As one of the largest recent developments in San Marcos, 222 North is anticipated to set a new standard for mixed-use construction in the region.
