I wonder what the site plan looks like of Vivo. It's fear it's going to be pretty crammed together with <5k sqft lots.

The better views will be on the bottom left land corner lots by the South Entrance Gate. But overall this development seems to have some larger lots.

Vivo are basically upsized San Mateo/Petaluma detached motorcourt condos....no way the average lot will be remotely close to 5,000sf. Maybe some of the lots may approach 4,000 to 5,000sf but the regular ones will be more like 2,000-2,500sf.

Agree, prices are high. Yet, it too will be gone as soon as it released. Too much money chasing too few goods out there currently.
I don't wish for a natural disaster to occur, but if it did, the ones on the hills will more likely sustain greater damage given the same epicenter as the home on flat lands. Be that it may, no one will think about it until occur.
So go on and happy bidding.....

Combo is said to start at ~$1.3 Mil for 2500sqft which is not too crazy when Avila sells 2600sqft for $1.35 Mil.
My guess is that's not including lot premium though. The lots look really small too with a very elongated floor plan to cram as many units as possible with a view.
And it's not about being salty about OH3, just not agreeing that OH3 is that amazing. The location certainly is but what they are building on it doesn't blow anyone's mind.

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade (cough-BTB-cough), but does anyone else get the sense that these prices are unjustifiably high? High-density, courtyard-style, >2000-sqft detached-condos STARTING in the $1-millions (not including lot-size/view premiums)?? I think I'll pass.
It all comes down to personal preference, but I've never been a fan of Irvine Pacific's product. Pretty much all of their projects have been very cookie-cutter and (dare I say) boring. I don't think I've ever been to an IP neighborhood and been excited about the houses themselves. What's going to sell this neighborhood are the views, but that'll cost you a pretty penny as well, likely to reach the $2-millions before selling out. At that price point, would you want to purchase a home that's been replicated in at least four other communities across Irvine?
Honestly very disappointed by this whole project. TIC had the opportunity to present something new and exciting at Reserve, and blew it. Still, I don't have a shadow of a doubt that this neighborhood will sell well.

Also, I don't know why TIC decided to develop a gated community that they're selling as the pinnacle of luxury living in Irvine, and still decided to include three high-density courtyard-style tracts into the mix (and more to come in site 4 on the map that Inc provided). The neighborhood should have been made up solely of single-family-homes if they envisioned the community being that ritzy. Just my two-cents.
