THE DRIFTWOOD COLLECTION
CARLSBAD VILLAGE · NEW CONDOMINIUMS
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Designed for the Way People Live
The Driftwood Collection brings 12 thoughtfully designed condominium residences to the heart of Carlsbad Village. Spacious floor plans ranging from 1,867 to 2,906 square feet and upscale finishes deliver the quality and craftsmanship today’s buyer expects.
Residents enjoy a curated suite of amenities rarely found at this scale: a private gym, sauna, and dedicated storage. The rooftop features a shared lounge, BBQs, dining and bar area, flat-screen TVs, and private cabanas, all with open-sky views over Carlsbad Village. Parking is handled seamlessly through a state-of-the-art puzzle lift system, maximizing efficiency without compromising the building’s design or streetscape presence.
The Driftwood Collection is developed by a team that calls this community home. With deep roots in San Diego and decades of experience across development, construction, and finance, we approach every project the same way: build something we’d be proud to live next to. Our goal isn’t just to deliver a quality product — it’s to contribute something that fits the character, scale, and spirit of Carlsbad Village for generations to come.
