Redevelopment Carlsbad Village and Poinsettia Stations

NCTD identified the Carlsbad Village and Poinsettia Transit Stations as two locations that would largely benefit from the redevelopment process. The Carlsbad Redevelopment Projects will create new opportunities for affordable housing, work and leisure activities that provide job opportunities and new tax revenue, reduce automobile reliance, and maximize North County’s access to the greater San Diego area through a large and diverse public transportation network.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) for the redevelopment the Carlsbad Poinsettia Transit Station and the Carlsbad Village Transit Station was issued on April 8, 2022. On January 19, 2023, the NCTD Board of Directors approved the recommendation of the Source Selection Committee to enter into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with SBP Fabric LLC, a partnership between Sea Breeze Properties, LLC., and FABRIC Investments, Inc. to redevelop the Carlsbad Village Transit Station, and Raintree Partners to redevelop the Carlsbad Poinsettia Transit Station. 

Proposers were evaluated based on the criteria in the RFP, which emphasized transit prioritization and transit amenities. The Board action is the first step toward transforming the existing transit stations into vibrant community gathering spaces where residents and visitors can live, work, play and ride. Entering into the ENA will allow all parties to work through the next steps in the planning process, including project designs and engaging with the community on project features. 

It is anticipated that the sites will undergo a 2 to 3 year period of design and entitlement with the City of Carlsbad before construction could begin.
