Developers eye Marisol site Seaside Ridge to build 295 units on north bluff By Laura Place
DEL MAR — The former proposed site of the Marisol resort is now being eyed for a massive residential project that would bring 259 rental housing units to the city’s north bluff. City officials received an application earlier this month for the proposed
