Orange County’s luxury apartment landscape continues to grow, with a second sprawling community debuting this week in southern Santa Ana.

The Row at Red Hill – developed by Greystar and touted as its “largest and most ambitious mixed-use project to date” – is under construction at the corner of Red Hill and Warner avenues. The property is near the county animal shelter and not far from the remaining blimp hangar. When completed next year, the community will span four buildings, offering high-end amenities and rents to match.

One of the buildings in the massive complex is open now and another will open this fall, Greystar representatives said Friday. By next year, four buildings will have a combined 1,100 apartments, a fitness and wellness facility, plus retail and public art spaces. Pets are allowed, too.

Pre-leasing began Aug. 1.

Rents range from $2,810 for a single bedroom unit to $4,600 for two-bedroom apartments. Prices vary depending on the floor and size of the apartment.

Greystar is spending $650 million to build The Row on 14.5 acres at 2010 E. Warner Ave. Designed by AO in Orange, the property will include 40,000 square feet of commercial space and four parking structures.

The Row will also feature co-working spaces and private Zoom studios. Other amenities reflect the growing demand among tenants for luxury: multiple pools and spas, EV charging stations, a dog park, bike storage, an outdoor kitchen and firepit, a conference room and multiple clubrooms.

Apartments will come equipped with smart home technology, high-speed WiFi, a video intercom system and cloud-based access.

The Row is the latest among several high-end apartment complexes coming or recently opened in the county. Just a week ago, we learned that Rafferty at 401 North Main St. was open for tenants in downtown Santa Ana. The two-building complex offers 218 units ranging from studio to two-bedroom apartments. Rents range from $2,426 to $6,550 monthly.

In late June, Zia in Anaheim began pre-leasing with rents ranging from $2,582 to $4,886.

Hybrid workspace coming to Irvine

Irvine will soon see a new shared workspace open at 2020 Main St. near the John Wayne Airport business complex.

International Workplace Group is adding 17 flexible workspace centers to its California portfolio, with the Irvine offices due by late spring 2025. In Southern California, the company is opening two office spaces in Long Beach, and one each in Pacific Palisades, Torrance, Pomona, Coronado and Ventura.

IWG said when the latest expansion is completed, it will now have 179 flexible workspace locations in California.

“California is a particularly fast-growing market for hybrid working, and we will continue to rapidly accelerate our presence across the state,” said Mark Dixon, CEO and founder of IWG, in a statement.

KTGY principal Obitz retires

After 21 years at KTGY in Irvine, David Obitz has retired. With 35 years in architecture and design, he stepped down from his role as principal July 31. Obitz’s 35-year career garnered at least 100 industry awards, the company said. His client projects ranged from mixed-use to single family, luxury to affordable, and senior to student housing nationwide.

For over a decade, Obitz worked with KTGY peers on the Irvine residential studio, which specializes in for-sale housing.

“As a leader, David created an office culture that fostered innovation and mentored future leaders, enabling the studio to position itself for this moment,” said Chris Texter, managing principal at the firm.

As of Aug. 1, leadership of that studio is now in the hands of principal Alan Scales.

Property management team hands out 395 backpacks

Advanced Management Co. in Irvine recently handed out 395 new backpacks filled with school supplies to residents of its Southern California apartment properties during its 11th annual Backpack Drive. AMC’s construction partner, R³ Construction Services Inc. helped collect, fill and distribute the backpacks.

“Our Backpack Drive is one of my favorite volunteer efforts of the year, and it remains a cornerstone of AMC’s community outreach initiatives,” said AMC President Danielle McCarthy. “For many families, purchasing school supplies can be a financial burden. Initiatives like this relieve this pressure, allowing parents to allocate their limited resources to other essential needs.”

AMC, a subsidiary of Advanced Real Estate Services, operates 63 apartment communities in the region. Of those communities, 27 nominated residents for backpack donations.
