Luxury Home Builders in Manhattan Beach, California
Reeland is a California-licensed luxury home builder based in Los Angeles, actively developing new construction homes in Manhattan Beach. We are not a real estate brokerage and not a wholesaler — we design, finance, permit, and construct every home ourselves, and we also buy select properties directly from homeowners when a lot fits our development criteria. Since 2014, Reeland has completed more than 400 projects across Southern California, representing over $1 billion in combined project value.

The Reeland approach
01
Built on Trust
We believe in straightforward communication and shared goals. Every decision is transparent, every step is aligned, and clients always know where their project stands.
02
Design with Purpose
We start with intention, not trends. Every choice is guided by how you live, how the space will feel, and how it should perform long term. The result is design that looks refined, functions beautifully, and stays relevant.
03
Seamless Collaboration
Great outcomes come from alignment. We coordinate closely across design, engineering, consultants, and trades so decisions stay clear and progress stays smooth. You get one connected team, fewer surprises, and a process that feels controlled.
04
Excellence in Execution
Details matter most when it’s time to build. We hold a high standard on craftsmanship, materials, and finish, and we stay involved to protect the integrity of the design. The work is precise, the site is organized, and the final result feels intentional.
05
Value That Lasts
We think beyond the handover. Quality planning, smart material choices, and timeless design create a home that holds its value and still feels exceptional years from now. It’s an investment in comfort, durability, and long term confidence.

What Is a Luxury Home Builder, and How Is It Different From an Agent?
A luxury home builder designs and physically constructs high-end residences — from site evaluation and architectural planning through permitting, framing, and final finish work. This is different from a real estate agent, who markets and sells homes that already exist, or a wholesaler, who contracts a property and resells the contract without ever building anything.
Reeland operates as the builder of record. Our team holds California licensing in both real estate and general construction, which means the same company that evaluates a Manhattan Beach lot is the one that pulls the permits, manages the trades, and delivers the finished home.
Reeland's Current Work in Manhattan Beach
Manhattan Beach is one of our primary markets, not a page we've added after the fact. As of this year, Reeland has six new construction homes in active development in Manhattan Beach, including projects on Poinsettia Avenue, Pine Avenue, Marshallfield Lane, Eighteenth Street, Curtis Avenue, and Twenty-Ninth Street. Recent completed builds in the city include Magnolia Residence, a 3,380 sq ft coastal home, and Faymont Residence, a 3,598 sq ft home with elevated ocean views. You can view our full project pipeline here.
What We Build in Manhattan Beach
Ground-Up Custom Homes
We acquire or partner on a lot, design a home specific to that site's views, setbacks, and orientation, and build it from foundation to final walkthrough. Nothing is a repeated floor plan.
Luxury Spec Homes
Select projects are built to our own specification and offered for sale as they near completion or during pre-sale, giving buyers a finished luxury home without a multi-year build timeline of their own.
Full-Scale Renovations
For existing Manhattan Beach homes with strong bones but outdated systems or layouts, we manage complete renovations with the same design and construction team that handles our new builds.
Neighborhoods We Build In
- Sand Section — Steps from The Strand and the beach; homes here are designed around ocean light and view corridors, subject to the city's coastal setback and height rules.
- Hill Section — Elevated lots with panoramic views from Palos Verdes to Malibu; larger footprints allow for more ambitious architecture and outdoor living space.
- Tree Section — A quieter, family-oriented setting near top-rated Manhattan Beach Unified schools, with strong demand for updated homes on established lots.
- El Porto — A more relaxed, surf-culture stretch at the north end of the city, increasingly attractive for new construction at a comparatively accessible price point.
Our Building Process
- Site and lot evaluation — We assess zoning, setbacks, buildable square footage, and view potential before committing to a project.
- Design and permitting — Our architects design to the site, and our team manages plan check and permitting with the City of Manhattan Beach.
- Construction — Licensed, in-house-managed construction from foundation through framing, mechanicals, and finish work.
- Final walkthrough and delivery — Every home is inspected and walked through with the client before close.
A typical Manhattan Beach ground-up build runs 12 to 20 months from permit issuance, depending on scope and city review timelines.
Buying New Construction vs. Building With Reeland
If you want to purchase a finished or near-finished luxury home, see our current inventory on the new construction homes in Manhattan Beach page. If you own a lot or an existing home and want Reeland to build on it, that conversation starts with a site evaluation — contact our team directly.
Do You Own Property in Manhattan Beach?
Reeland buys select properties directly from homeowners — typically homes built before 1990 on standard or larger lots in the Sand Section, Hill Section, or Tree Section, where the land supports new construction. We're not looking for distressed flips; we're looking for lots that support a home we'd be proud to build. If you're weighing your options, our sell my house in Manhattan Beach page walks through how we evaluate land value versus resale value, with no listing, agent commission, or MLS exposure required.
