Summer Sizzle in The OC

Posted on by

The summer sun is here and hopefully it’s shining bright on Taylor Morrison’s GRAND OPENING of the Palisades – located in the Vista Del Verde master plan in Yorba Linda. Townhomes will range from 2,206-2,626 square feet and pricing starts in the high $500’s for 6 floor plans.  The opening event is planned for Saturday, June 30th!

Apartments here in Orange County remain HOT!  Rents are UP and more supply continues to come on the line and lease up quickly – even leasing up ahead of schedule, as is the case at The Irvine Company’s newest community, Cypress Village.

The City of Lake Forest approved Toll Brothers & Shea’s plans for Baker Ranch, a +2,300-unit development on +380 acres. The land is one of the City’s “Opportunities Study Areas,” enabling residential development now that the land use is no longer affected by the El Toro Marine Base flight path.

In the recent elections, the City of Yorba Linda passed both Measures H & I.  The Measures allow for increased development on a number of sites that will accommodate moderate, low and very low income households.

The Olson Company will be building 27 single-family homes and 61 townhomes  at the future Solano Walk in Fountain Valley adjacent to the Civic Center.

Closings and Openings in Orange County

Posted on by

The Land Advisors Orange County Team is very proud to announce the closing of 143 townhomes at Planning Area “T” at Vista Del Verde in Yorba Linda – CONGRATULATIONS to Taylor Morrison on its future Palisades community, and to developers Aera Energy and Toll Brothers for completing the final sale in their premier master plan.  Read the complete press release HERE.

Senior Marketing Consultant Mike Hunter, who has over forty years experience selling residential land in Orange County, has worked with Aera Energy and Toll Brothers on the Vista Del Verde project since its beginning. “Land prices at the project have held up over the years, thanks in part to the North OC site’s proximity to Los Angeles. Los Angeles and North OC have continued to draw plenty of interest from institutional investors that fund homebuilders,” Hunter told the Orange County Business Journal.  OCBJ reported that the Area “T” transaction is likely one of Orange County’s most expensive in recent years.

NOW OPEN: Last quarter KB Home debuted a new home community at Whisler Ridge, 58 single family homes in Lake Forest.  Land Advisors’ OC Team sold these lots, which sit on approximately 12.7 acres near the 241 Toll Road, to KB Home in 2011.  These unique “net zero” homes are priced from $654,990 to $799,990.

In North Orange County news, Standard Pacific Homes recently opened its Alcott community in Buena Park, priced from the $610,000s.
