Project Description
RICK provided due-diligence services and followed up with entitlement engineering for the redevelopment of a former 27-acre Sears store and parking lot at the Buena Park Mall site in Buena Park, California. The entitlement plan includes the property subdivision into 6 parcels with a combination of 2 parcels of 7-level multifamily residential wrap product, 2 parcels of 5 level multifamily residential wrap product, and 2 parcels of residential townhome product for a total of 1,362 residential units. The plan also includes 317 surface parking stalls and 2,439 garage residential parking stalls.
This project is planned to be developed in three separate phases. RICK provided expertise to ensure an efficient design within multiple phases in handling the civil and stormwater resources engineering. The entitlement documents are in the City for approvals, and once approvals with conditions of approval are received, the development team will proceed into preparation of construction documents. The client plans to construct the infrastructure and sell building sites to specialized builders, and the project will transform an underutilized and blighted property into both affordable housing and luxury rentals.
