Project Overview

The Del Mar project, located at 2325 Vista Del Mar Drive, will bring new for-sale single-family homes (detached and townhomes) as well as for-rent apartments to the midtown Ventura community. The 14.5-acre property is an existing industrial site with limited ocean views located above US-101.

The 2005 General Plan update designated this property for Neighborhood High Residential, with densities of 21 to 54 dwelling units per acre. This project is proposing approximately 28.5 dwelling units per acre. The project will also satisfy the city’s inclusionary housing requirements.

About KB Home

KB Home is one of the largest and most recognized homebuilders in the United States and has built over 655,000 quality homes in our more than 65-year history. Today, KB Home operates in 47 markets from coast to coast. What sets KB Home apart is the exceptional personalization we offer our homebuyers — from those buying their first home to experienced buyers — allowing them to make their home uniquely their own, at a price that fits their budget.

As the leader in energy-efficient homebuilding, KB Home was the first builder to make every home it builds ENERGY STAR® certified, a standard of energy performance achieved by fewer than 10% of new homes in America, and has built more ENERGY STAR certified homes than any other builder. An energy-efficient KB home helps lower the cost of ownership and is designed to be healthier, more comfortable and better for the environment than new homes without certification.

We build strong, personal relationships with our customers so they have a real partner in the homebuying process. As a result, we have the distinction of being the #1 customer-ranked national homebuilder in third-party buyer satisfaction surveys.
