Level 3 Construction lands contract for 26-unit luxury apartment project in Carlsbad

Level 3 Construction will build Resort View Apartments, a 26-unit rental project overlooking Omni La Costa Resort & Spa’s South Course in Carlsbad’s La Costa neighborhood. Construction is set to start in December 2026 and finish about 14 months later.

Why it matters: - The project adds a boutique luxury rental option in Carlsbad’s La Costa neighborhood, where demand for high-end housing and resort-style living remains strong. - The development turns a vacant parcel beside Omni La Costa Resort & Spa’s South Course into a new residential community. - The project expands Level 3 Construction’s portfolio into another complex multifamily assignment in North County San Diego.

What happened: - Level 3 Construction was awarded the contract to build Resort View Apartments, a 26-unit luxury residential development in Carlsbad, California. - The project sits on Viejo Castilla Way, adjacent to Omni La Costa Resort & Spa’s South Course. - Construction is scheduled to begin in December 2026. - Completion is expected about 14 months after the start date.

The details: - Resort View Apartments was designed by San Clemente-based Foxlin Architects for a local real estate developer. - The 39,923-square-foot project will include five buildings. - The building plan calls for three three-story structures and two four-story structures arranged around a central courtyard. - The apartment mix includes 18 three-bedroom residences, four two-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units. - Two residences will include spiral staircases that lead to private rooftop decks. - The rooftop decks will overlook the South Course and surrounding hills. - The project will include resort-inspired amenities. - The central courtyard will feature barbecue and seating areas, a fire pit lounge, a water feature and a wet bar. - A first-floor fitness area is also part of the plan. - The development is intended to combine the space and privacy of a traditional home with shared amenities typical of luxury apartment living. - Before the award, Level 3 Construction worked with the developer on project requirements, cost review and risk identification ahead of groundbreaking. - The pre-construction phase helped align expectations, refine the schedule and coordinate project execution.

Between the lines: - Early contractor involvement can reduce schedule and cost surprises on projects with more complex site and design requirements. - The apartment mix leans heavily toward larger units, which suggests the developer is targeting renters looking for more space than a typical multifamily project offers. - The resort and golf-course setting is a central selling point for the development, not just a location detail.

What's next: - Groundbreaking is expected in December 2026. - The next major milestone will be construction progress toward delivery roughly 14 months later. - Level 3 Construction will move from pre-construction planning into full buildout once work begins.

The bottom line: - Resort View Apartments brings a small-scale, amenity-rich rental project to one of Carlsbad’s most prominent resort-adjacent sites.
