As Orange County runs out of developable land, mixed use becomes increasignly popular.
"Restaurants and shops line the ground level, offices flank one side of the building, and a cavernous parking structure serves as the building's core... On top of it all are 42 townhomes built around open-air corridors and courtyards. From the alleyways, which offer glimpses of rooftops and the ocean, the place feels more like a high-on-the-hills seaside village than an in-the-heart-of-downtown complex."
