The $500-million, 2,000-acre planned development 11 miles north of Rancho California in Riverside County has a seven- to 10-year build-out, according to Lusk’s Marty Reinfried. She added that the development’s information center will open in July.
One of the eight builders in the first phase of the recreation-oriented project will be Orange-based Century American, building Belcanto on the Lake, along the shore of the recreational lake. The development will have 215 Mediterranean-styled single-family houses designed by Corbin/Yamafuji & Partners.
Sales for the houses by Century American and other developers are expected to begin this fall. The eight builders will offer nine projects.
