Second collaboration between the builder and affordable housing developer accelerates delivery of new LIHTC homes for Carlsbad residents

CARLSBAD, CA, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Level 3 Construction, Inc., a leading general contractor specializing in multifamily, hotel, mixed-use, and affordable housing projects, today announced the completion of the La Costa Family Apartments, a $5.8-million Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) community in Carlsbad. The company delivered the ground-up project to San Diego-based affordable housing developer MirKa Investments, LLC in just 10 months—two months ahead of schedule.

“Completing the La Costa Family Apartments ahead of schedule reflects the strength of our partnership with Level 3 Construction. Their responsiveness, communication, and ability to coordinate multiple contractors efficiently made this possible,” said Kursat Misirlioglu, CEO of MirKa Investments. “This project was a true team effort, and delivering these homes early is a win-win all around. Families will be able to move into affordable homes sooner, and we’ll be able to generate rental income faster.”

This project comes at a time of significant need for affordable housing across San Diego County. According to a 2026 report by the County of San Diego, more than half of renting households (54%) spend over 30% of their income on housing, with over a quarter paying more than half of their income for rent. In addition, the San Diego Housing Federation notes that the County remains short more than 134,500 affordable rental units, highlighting the persistent gap between housing supply and demand for lower and moderate income families. La Costa Family Apartments and addresses both the shortage and cost-burden pressures, providing new below market-rate homes to the community.

Expert Construction Oversight Significantly Speeds Project Delivery

Level 3 Construction oversaw all phases of the buildout, from foundation work to final interior finishes. By procuring materials early, maintaining schedule discipline even when weather conditions were unfavorable, and working in lockstep with its subcontractors and the design team, it ultimately delivered the project about 17 percent faster than initially planned.

“When we take on a project, our goal is to exceed our client’s expectations. La Costa Family Apartments demonstrates what thoughtful planning, disciplined execution, and strong, active collaboration can achieve,” said Ian Mahon, president and CEO of Level 3 Construction. “Working hand in hand with MirKa Investments and the broader project team, we built high-quality, well-designed homes that we are proud of and will serve Carlsbad residents for years to come.”

La Costa Family Apartments marks the second affordable housing community that Level 3 Construction has built for MirKa Investments in the past year. Their first project was South River Village, a 43-unit affordable housing community in Oceanside. Based on the success of that project, the developer was confident hiring Level 3 Construction to complete this development on time and within budget.
