Luxury Rentals Under Construction in Rancho Santa Fe

Newport Pacific, Inc. has selected Davidson Builders as the general contractor for 54 luxury rental suites at Palma de la Reina, a mixed use complex in Rancho Santa Fe

located at the entrance to Whispering Palms off Via de la Valle.

“We are excited to choose Bill Davidson and his team to build out the residential component of Palma de la Reina,” said Richard Cavanaugh, president and CEO of Newport Pacific, Inc., owner and developer of the project. “Bill’s involvement at Whispering Palms spans back to the 1980s, when he built an enclave of luxury town homes at Alcala, a project that was selected in 1986 as the best in San Diego by the Building Industry Association.”

Luxury suites at Palma de la Reina range from approximately 1,000 to 1,100 square feet and offer two bedrooms and two baths plus covered parking. Architecture by Jon Ebert – the original designer of Whispering Palms - features an Italian Renaissance styling with a light art deco color palette, similar to the adjoining retail and office buildings. A common area features a pool, spa and poolhouse.

“I consider these more than apartments, these are homes,” said Cavanaugh. “Our priority was to open up the interiors and maximize natural light through creative placement of windows, glass block and skylights. Variation in landscaping, color and exterior details has helped us achieve a heightened sense of privacy and individuality throughout the complex.

Water conserving landscaping by David Reed Landscape Architects includes many of the signature palms so familiar in Whispering Palms and the surrounding community.

“The plantings here at Palma de la Reina are layered, textured and bursting with perennial color,” said Reed. “Larger king and date palms line the perimeter of the complex and are tied in to the smaller palms between the buildings and along the walkways.”

Located at 5525 Cancha de Golf, luxury apartments at Palma de la Reina are slated for completion by the end of November. For more information, contact the Newport Pacific rental office at 858-756-3771 or visit www.palmadelareina.com

The new rental community adjoins Palma de la Reina’s 31,410-square-foot commercial complex. The retail building is nearing completion and will feature local merchants including GYROTONIC Rancho Santa Fe, Salon Draven, Whispering Palms Cleaners, and My Brighter Side, a store that offers products for female cancer patients.

The commercial office complex is also on schedule for a summer opening.

Palma de la Reina is the final element in the Whispering Palms master plan, which was created by Newport Pacific in 1962.

“We are so proud to be nearing completion of this final piece of the Palma de la Reina master plan,” said Cavanaugh. “We think the community will welcome neighborhood-serving retail and professional services, as well as the opportunity to rent a luxury home in this prestigious community.”
