Carter+Co Represents Align Builders in 10,950 SF Move to State Street Commons in Carlsbad Village

Carter+Co is pleased to announce that it represented Align Builders in its move to 10,950 square feet at State Street Commons, located at 2742 State Street in the heart of Carlsbad Village. The new location will support Align Builders’ continued growth and provide the company with a distinctive workplace environment that reflects its culture, brand, and long-term vision. Align Builders is a leading technical builder serving the Healthcare, Science & Technology, and Higher Education markets throughout Southern California. Known for delivering complex construction projects with clarity, collaboration, and technical expertise, Align Builders has built a reputation for elevating the construction experience for clients, project partners, and the communities it serves. State Street Commons is one of Carlsbad Village’s most unique adaptive reuse projects. Developed by Fabric Investments, the project transformed the former antique mall into an approximately 23,000-square-foot mixed-use destination just blocks from the Pacific Ocean and directly across from the Carlsbad transit station. The property preserves the architectural character of its original butler-frame buildings and quonset hut while creating a vibrant environment for office, retail, restaurant, and community-focused users. “Align Builders was looking for more than just square footage,” said Travis Carter, President of Carter+Co. “They needed a space that could accommodate future growth, support their team, and align with the quality of work and culture they have built. State Street Commons delivered on all fronts.” The transaction was also strengthened by the long-standing relationship between Carter+Co and Fabric Investments, which dates back nearly 20 years. The trust, reputation, and shared commitment between the firms helped create a smooth process and a successful result for Align Builders. “Fabric has consistently delivered thoughtful, design-forward projects that bring real value to the communities they serve,” Carter added. “That reputation, combined with Align’s credibility and growth trajectory, made this a strong fit from the beginning.” The move places Align Builders in one of North County’s most active coastal village environments, offering walkable access to restaurants, retail, coffee, transit, and the beach. The new space gives Align Builders a highly visible and flexible platform for its next phase of growth.
