San Juan City has officially started construction on a new housing project. On March 18, 2025, Mayor Francis Zamora and several officials, including DHSUD Secretary Jerry Acuzar, took part in the groundbreaking ceremony for the 30-story building. This project will offer 1,029 units under the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) program.

San Juan City is one of the first local governments to participate in this initiative. Mayor Zamora emphasized the importance of the project for local families. He stated that it would help San Juan residents secure decent and affordable homes. He highlighted that ensuring public housing is a priority in his administration's final term. The event was also attended by various officials from housing agencies, showing a unified effort between the national and local governments to address housing issues. With the groundbreaking completed, construction will soon begin as San Juan City continues to focus on urban development and social welfare.
