We’re excited to announce city council approval

We’re excited to announce city council approval for the Village at Laguna Hills, a 68-acre mixed-use project in the heart of south Orange County. Merlone Geier Partners plans to redevelop the existing Laguna Hills mall into a dynamic new mixed-use property with entertainment, office, hotel, residential, retail, and dynamic outdoor spaces.

Urban Arena designed approximately 2.5 acres of central park space, 2.7 acres of outdoor co-working office space, and multiple residential courtyards, roof top decks and even a community garden. The central park is at the heart of the community. It is planned to have an active lawn space, amphitheater structure, play space, and dog park. The office campus is designed to provide the ultimate indoor/outdoor flow with exterior meeting space, covered coworking space, and social spaces. A central feature of both the park and the office campus are ‘dry’ creek beds planted with native species which emulate features from the surrounding canyons. The creek bed also serves as an engineered stormwater treatment area for the surrounding development.

Thanks to Merlone Geier Partners for giving us the opportunity to design such an exciting project and to MCG architecture, @architects_orange, @genslersd, Rick Engineering Company and others for being a great design team. The project fly through can be found at https://vimeo.com/480390534
