"It’s been two years since Harmony @ 1 broke ground on its new project on the hill between Roberts Road and Fassler Avenue. The approved project allows a total of 10 custom homes. Each one requires individual approval from the Pacifica Planning Commission.

So far, a “model” home received the necessary approvals, but it has not yet been built. In addition, one of the lots has been sold, but nothing has been applied for there. Alex Fraser of Sonora Shores development said, thinking back to that big day two years ago, he expected to be further along on the project by this time.
