That is not possible for TIC to sell land less than $4m/ac. Unless Bren is in a hurry to sell off the only remaining land before he finally retires. The only possibility is someone he trusted sold the land without him knowing. If that was the case I doubt that person is there any longer.

I am seldom wrong but I am wrong here. It is a huge risk to do large lots. 10,000 sf lot meant about 3.3 units per acre. 3 units per acre. 3x$2.7m=$8.1m $8.1m/2=$4m    That is correct that Toll bought land at 4m/acre The math works out perfect at $2.7m per home. The risk is huge because...

Ok I am wrong. I did see those lot sizes Toll Brothers are offering. Apparently Toll is off my radar. Love the big lots but those homes got to go. I am not familiar with this company's MO and I need to study it's financial economic. Those large lot size and homes on them for $2m is a huge...

May be he got a pink slip from higher up that his toxic hype backed fire and he is no longer influential and convincing when his theory not only did not add up but set Eastwood up for the fall on the Bowerman landfill thread.

May be this will save the Sears empire!

After studying the Fivepoint proposals and the original cemetery plan the Fivepoint solution is hand down. It is bounded by 3 infamous streets of Irvine; Alton, Barranca and Bake. The cemetery will have a scenic aspect of an arroyo to harvest rain water to be recycled for the drought seasonal...

10,000 sf lots are not practical for the developers and home builders for now and the future due to the return on large acreage without construction on it. With construction the home builder could charge $400/sf. Without construction may be $130/sf for lot premium. Every now and then for lots...

There is no 10,000 sf lot in Irvine currently and ever. It is 100'x100'. A new home of this level of charm will never exist. Only a few in the USA could design beautiful homes like this and I am one of them. There is still an "if" whether a developer and builder would go along with it. If so...

That is exactly the point. Fivepoint is trading the best piece of RE they have for a crappy site that presented all kinds of challenges from wasting water due to run off, handicap accessibility on a slope ( I guess veteran's buddies have all their body parts intact), traffic studies on a...

I am a believer that the built environment encourages specific human behavior. Walls, gate, guard towers, fob access parks and club houses create isolation and neighbors become introverted and private. No walls, front doors greet the neighborhood perimeters, public parks, non fortresses club...

Lady M is struggling. Laduree will not come to Irvine. Irvinites are happy with Lee Sandwiches. SCP could be a possibility for Laduree to considered because the the Gabrielinos' shopping spree. 

It makes total sense on the swapped land. It is easy to get to. It will have dedicated signage. I agree with others that its a everyday reminder of the brave veterans. There is even seed money. Maintenance will be much easier near the freeway access. Its flatter at the lowest elevation for water...

I was there an hour ago and cars were parked on 4 sides to full capacity. It has been a gathering spot for moms while their kids play. The kids love the elevation drops, sunken terraces and the zip line. It is truly designed for the curiosity of children and for the parents enjoying their...

Laduree opened today at Georgetown.

No one wants to have a basketball court in their neighborhood. The homes nearby will have a negative premium due to noise.

All that craps just to end up at CSUF.

Prototype, You are very perceptive! The two campuses you cited are fairly good with some amenities but still very far from being ideal. There are only a few campuses in America that have this richness of amenities within walking distance from campus. I hate those oversized sports parks with no...

Which colleges have the best university Village full of eateries like Dean and Deluca, Macaroons, cupcakes, shoppings like Anthropology, J Crew, Kate Spade, Northface, Zagot rated restaurants offering international cuisines, neighborhood bars and no homelessness. Trader Joe's, Hmart and...

The Sports park pavilions are being designed by the architects famous for their iconic Olympic villages. There is a common goal for Greatpark is to make Irvine cool and making it a national destination a new place for UCI students to hang out instead of Diamond Jamboree. This would be a leap...

But the Veterans get to be buried in Irvine while the civilians could not. That evens out.
