🛍️ The Forum Carlsbad Sold to National Real Estate Firm EDENS

📆 Latest Update:
EDENS announced the acquisition on September 24, 2026, calling it an important part of the company’s continued Southern California expansion. The company says it sees long-term potential to make the property more compelling, but no major redevelopment or housing project has been announced.

🏡 Bottom Line:
This is a major ownership change for one of Carlsbad’s established shopping destinations. For now, the story is the sale itself—not a confirmed redevelopment.
