Design and Amenities

Alicante Apartments offers luxury multifamily living in a highly desirable location proximate to schools, commercial services, parks, employment centers, and other community amenities. The building is designed with four stories of residential space situated above two levels of semi‑subterranean parking, providing efficient site utilization and convenient access for residents.

The architectural style has been carefully developed to reflect a warm, natural, beach‑contemporary aesthetic, incorporating thoughtfully arranged open spaces and a palette that complements the surrounding coastal environment. The structure includes strong horizontal elements that visually align with the upward slope of Altisma Way, creating a cohesive relationship between the building and its topography.

Over time, the design has evolved to integrate numerous mandatory components from the City of Carlsbad Objective Design Standards Manual, ensuring consistency with citywide expectations for high‑quality multifamily development. On‑site amenities include a premium fitness center, a U‑shaped courtyard positioned above the lobby, a rooftop lounge offering casual gathering opportunities, and a welcoming lobby with a variety of seating areas for residents and guests.

The residential units feature a diverse mix of bedroom and bathroom configurations, each finished with premium materials, modern fixtures, and energy‑efficient appliances to support comfortable, contemporary living.

The Site / Siteplan

The subject property is a remnant multi‑family parcel totaling 3.678 gross acres, with the proposed development concentrated on approximately 1.1 acres in the southwest corner. Consistent with the City of Carlsbad General Plan §2.4, the project employs a clustering approach, locating all improvements within this portion of the site. The General Plan expressly supports clustering, noting that “…clustering is permitted in all residential designations to encourage open space conservation and preservation of natural topography; this may result in portions of a site developed at a density higher than the applicable density range, which is acceptable as long as the density for the overall net development site is not exceeded…” The remainder of the parcel will remain undeveloped and function as passive open space, with periodic maintenance to reduce wildfire risk and limit the existence adn spread of non‑native species.
