The County of Orange, County Executive Office (CEO) Real Estate/Land Development, in conjunction with Lowe Enterprises and KTGY, conducted a comprehensive strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis and a visioning session for the property. As part of that effort, the team reached out to key stakeholders, including the Board of Supervisors, the City of Irvine, Five Point Communities, the Irvine Company, Second Harvest and industry professionals, among others, to craft a vision and goals for the Project.




The vision for the Project is a mixed-use, walkable, transit-oriented destination incorporating residential, retail, hospitality and commercial business uses in a dynamic urban setting with authentic physical and emotional connections to the site’s history and adjacent influences. The Contextual Analysis, Framework Plan and Land Use Plan identify one potential example of a development scenario that conforms to the Project vision established by this Development Plan. The scenario expressly identified in this Development Plan does not limit the County’s right to implement different scenarios that are also consistent with this Development Plan.
