The southern hangar was always scheduled to be demolished, the irvine company apartments and Anton's low income apartments will be built just south of southern hanger i believe. Park Ave, which is the entrance to the district (by target) will also be entrance into the apartments on the other side of tustin ranch road. The north hangar is now red-tagged after the roof on the northern part of the hangar caved in and caused damaged to that hydrogen airplane that was being housed there. After the roof caved in it sounds like the city is realizing its more trouble than its worth and will likely tear it down, or more accurately, have the marine corp tear it down since i think the marine corp still technically owns the hangar (or is paying for its teardown).

That sucks, I was really hoping they'd keep one of them up and turn it into a museum or something. As an almost 30yr resident of Irvine, I can't think of a more iconic building than the hangars. Hopefully the GP will do a good job with their museum in the future that will pay homage to the naval/marine corp legacy of both El Toro and Tustin

They're keeping the south hangar and making it an Entertainment District.

If Standard Pacific quality is what it was when we bought our home, I can highly recommend the builder.
