Union Tower is a modern affordable housing community in National City, offering 94 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments for low-income families and veterans, including 24 fully furnished supportive housing units for veterans exiting homelessness.

Designed for households earning between 30% and 60% of the area median income (AMI), the community features contemporary, energy-efficient homes, inviting outdoor spaces, a playground, and shared amenities. Residents also have access to free onsite services that promote housing stability, wellness, and self-sufficiency.

Opened in 2026, Union Tower replaces outdated housing at the longstanding National City Park Apartments site, expanding affordable housing opportunities through a partnership between Wakeland Housing and the SDBTC Family Housing Corporation. This LEED Silver-certified development builds on more than 50 years of affordable housing at the site while creating new opportunities for residents and the surrounding community.
