Great Park Neighborhoods
This 3,700-acre parcel of land in Irvine used to be home to the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. Today, the land is witnessing a remarkable transformation. A 1,347-acre metropolitan park twice the size of Central Park in New York City will be at the heart of a new community unlike any other in Orange County. The Great Park Neighborhoods will follow the master-planned tradition of the city of Irvine and the practices that have guided its development and made it one of California’s most desirable cities to live in. When completed, three distinct neighborhoods will hug close to the Great Park, and the new development will be home to 5,000 families with five million square feet of space set aside for commercial and other uses, including several education institutions. Plus, concrete and other materials that were used to build the base and the runways will be recycled and repurposed during construction.
