Redondo Beach

New Construction Homes in Redondo Beach

Most people hire an agent to find the property and a contractor to build it, and hope the two see eye to eye. At Levine Homes, they’re the same team.

From a hilltop lot in South Redondo to a flatter, larger lot in North Redondo, we take a new home from lot evaluation and design through permits, construction, and the final certificate of occupancy, with one licensed team accountable for all of it.

The Reality Here

What building new in Redondo Beach involves

Much of Redondo Beach was built between the 1950s and the 1970s. When an older house no longer fits the way you live, replacing it can make more sense than another round of remodeling. We handle new construction from lot evaluation through the final certificate of occupancy, including tear-down-and-rebuild projects and ground-up builds.

Lots differ across the city. North Redondo lots tend to be flatter and larger. Hillside lots in the Hollywood Riviera bring slope, drainage, and access into the design from the first sketch. Some lots near the Esplanade sit in the Coastal Zone. Every project goes through the Redondo Beach Community Development Department, and we prepare the submittals and manage plan check ourselves.

Builder + Broker

Why work with a builder who’s also your broker

Because we are also a licensed real estate broker, we can look at a Redondo Beach lot before you buy it and tell you what can realistically be built there. Buildable square footage, site conditions, and eventual resale all get checked before the money is committed.

How It Works

Three steps from first call to first swing.

No long sales process. A conversation, a walkthrough, then a plan you can actually build from.

01

Phone Consultation

A free call about the lot, what you want to build, your budget range, and your timing. Straight answers, no pressure.

02

Lot & Feasibility Review

We walk the lot and tell you what is realistic given Redondo Beach setbacks, height limits, slope, and any Coastal Zone requirements before you commit to a plan.

03

Design, Permits & Build

We coordinate architecture, file with the Community Development Department, manage every trade, and run the schedule through final certificate of occupancy.

Permits and the Coastal Zone

Every new home goes through the Redondo Beach Community Development Department, and lots near the Esplanade may also fall in the Coastal Zone. We check a lot’s status early and structure the submittal to keep delays down.

Remodels and additions

If the existing house is sound, a major remodel or addition can get you most of the way to a new home. We will tell you which route makes more sense before you commit to a tear-down.

What Clients Say

Reviews from South Bay homeowners.

★★★★★

Above and Beyond, Without Being Asked – A Rare Kind of Professional

“I’m in a very difficult spot in my home construction right now, and I reached out to local builders just hoping someone would offer guidance. Mike, the owner of Levine Homes, responded almost immediately… He spent an entire hour at the site, giving thoughtful, honest feedback and advice. And again - he didn’t know me and had no obligation to help. I can only imagine the level of dedication he brings to his actual clients.”

They Turned Our House Into a Home

“Mike and his team are the best and most honest construction company that my wife and I have had the pleasure of working with… The details are perfect, the workmanship is top-notch, and everything feels solid and thoughtfully done. We’ve worked with other contractors before, but this was by far the best experience we’ve had.”

Common Questions

Redondo Beach new construction questions.

The things homeowners here ask us most often before a project starts.

Can you evaluate a Redondo Beach lot before I buy it?

Yes. Because we are also a licensed real estate broker, we can help evaluate a lot before you buy it, not just build on one you already own. That includes what can realistically be built there given setbacks, height limits, slope, and Coastal Zone status.

What have you built in Redondo Beach?

We built 1315 S Irena, a plantation-style custom home of about 4,500 square feet on two levels, on a hilltop in South Redondo. See the project.

Which Redondo Beach neighborhoods do you build in?

We build throughout Redondo Beach, including the Hollywood Riviera, Riviera Village, South Redondo, North Redondo, the Esplanade, and the Avenues. Each area carries different site conditions and buyer expectations, and the design should respond to both.

What exactly does Levine Homes handle on a new build?

Lot identification and acquisition support; architectural coordination and design; permit filing and management with the Redondo Beach Community Development Department; full construction management from foundation through final finishes; and real estate support for the completed home.

Should I remodel or rebuild?

If the existing structure is sound, a major remodel or addition can get you most of the way to a new home. We will tell you which route makes more sense for your lot before you commit. See home remodeling in Redondo Beach.
