Balboa Island, CA

Foundation and Framing

2024

Building on Balboa Island isn't like building anywhere else. As one of Newport Beach's most coveted waterfront communities, Balboa Island presents unique structural challenges that demand precision engineering from the ground up — and that's exactly where Structure One Custom Homes excels.

Due to Balboa Island's coastal soil conditions, high water table, and proximity to Newport Harbor, foundation work here requires a higher level of expertise than standard residential construction. Our team engineered and executed a foundation system built to handle the soft, sandy substrate common to the island — ensuring long-term structural stability in one of Southern California's most demanding coastal environments.

From the foundation up, our framing crew brought the vision to life — incorporating both structural steel and precision wood framing to meet the architectural demands of this multi-story custom home. The result is a structure built to withstand coastal conditions, seismic activity, and the test of time — all while maximizing the breathtaking Newport Harbor views the property has to offer.

When this home hit the market, it sold for $6.3 million — a reflection of the quality built into every inch of it, starting with the foundation. That's what Structure One brings to every project: the kind of craftsmanship that holds its value long after the last wall goes up.
