The San Diego construction market presents a dynamic outlook, underpinned by significant long-term investment. The city has outlined a 5-year Capital Infrastructure Plan totaling approximately $11.87 billion, translating to an estimated $7.1 billion in spending over the next three years and an annual rate of $2.4 billion for 2025. This investment supports major projects including airport upgrades, waterfront transformations like Seaport San Diego, and new residential complexes. Based on an estimated rate of 5.5 jobs per $1 million spent, the market is projected to support over 13,200 jobs in 2026.

The trajectory points toward sustained growth in the infrastructure and residential sectors, with a notable shift in commercial development toward smaller, higher-quality spaces.
San Diego is experiencing significant residential construction growth with over 1,000 new affordable housing units planned by 2026 and major mixed-use developments transforming neighborhoods across the metro area.
The city has allocated approximately $11.87 billion in capital infrastructure needs over five years, focusing on aging infrastructure renewal, transportation improvements, and the major San Diego Airport expansion project.
San Diego's commercial construction sector is being reshaped by over $10 billion in projects including the Seaport San Diego waterfront transformation, Riverwalk in Mission Valley, and Frontwave Arena in Oceanside.
