DETAILS

LocationIrvine, California, United States
ClientICDC
Size1400 acres

This mixed-use planned community of over 6,000 people features over 2,000 dwellings in a broad mix of single family detached dwellings, and over 500 multifamily dwellings, complemented by a retail center and 800,000 square feet of flexible development. . Prominent natural landforms such as the Southern Ridge and the three knolls have been preserved and incorporated into parks and open space. These natural shapes provide a dramatic backdrop for the community as well as a link to city open space.

The park system forms an integral part of the Community by providing habitat, trails, views, space for informal activities, and places to hike and relax. On a clear day, areas on site have views to Saddleback Mountain, San Gabriel Mountains and City of Irvine. The development’s entry roundabouts, retail shops, the K-8 school, and park buildings such as gazebos and overlooks distinguish Quail Hill within Irvine Ranch.
