Lots on J, K, G streets look like view lots with decent size but I am sure those are the ones close to the $2M price.
So it looks like the main entrance is guard gated and the ?secondary entrance appears to have only automatic gates. There is one main pool/spa with club house and one tot lot. Many of the lots look pretty small considering homes will all start near 3000sqft.
I am not sure if that area near the top of the map is an access point to the hiking trails or some other future open space/park.
It also interesting to see that the original Lambert home will still stay in place within the middle of this brand new subdivision.

If you are referring to the small tan shaded area north of G street, that could be the new permanent location for the cell towers (terrible location!) as its a bit north of the current cell towers. I could be absolutely wrong though. Below is an excerpt from Annabanana's post on previous page regarding the cell towers.
"Existing cell towers will be relocated and housed in a barn and water tower structure consistent with the neighborhood design theme. Three temporary cell?on?wheels devices (similar to a small U?Haul trailer) will provide interim cell service for approximately 180 days during construction of the permanent facilities. The cell?on?wheels will be placed on a newly graded slope close to the existing cell towers while the permanent pad is developed further north of the current site."
Definitely a horrible location for "premium" lots. "G" street does seem to face the new cell site, which based on google maps isn't just a singular "tower" or palm tree, but a darn forrest of cell towers (see attached jpg). There's seems to be three major cell site operators here. Good news, you'll have good reception.

Any information about what the LR homesite will be used for? Perhaps a community center? Very nice to see it retained.
Since that dirt wasn't organically farmed, wonder what is in the ground at LR? I'm sure it's no biggie, but depending on soil chemistry there needs to be some steps taken to ensure that the concrete pads don't break apart in a few years. Brighton Homes in Yorba Linda and RSM both had slab issues in their developments - unrelated to the ground underneath - but still something that needs to be considered when you buy a home built on prior use land.

The cell farm has been razed. They have some temporary cell towers there now. I'm wondering if it will be rebuilt at the same spot after all the grading is complete or what the plans are.

I drove by PS recently and saw they have signs up telling people to sign up for the interest list. They are also constructing the main entrance guard gate building and roadway. I haven't looked much past the gates yet, anyone see model home lots being graded yet? This development is supposed to start selling in "early" 2012.

One more interesting tidbit--it looks like they made changes to their original master plan. They initially included alley style garages (think Woodbury Stonetree Manor homes) but changed it to the more traditional layout. Maybe they read TI and realize the great demand for traditional layouts in Irvine for single family homes. It also didn't hurt that sales at Taylor Morrison's Las Ventanas were relatively strong next door.

Hmm... the Estate floorplan has a tandem 3-car garage and a formal dining room... interesting.
Great find on the alley vs. driveway change... motorcourts are NOT the hawt.

Seeing how Maricopa is low 800s for a 22xx sqft SFR, I would guess these homes would start at mid 900s.

Starting at 2700sft... you're probably close.. but I think they could go lower if they look at Las Ventanas pricing and want to beat out TIC for being farther away from amenities... maybe $850k to start?woodburyowner said:
