In case you missed it, the City announced that the Laguna Niguel City Center project is moving forward.

The construction drawing phase of this project has begun by the developers, Laguna Niguel Town Center Partners, LLC.

As described by Laguna Niguel Town Center Partners, LLC, the general vision of the Laguna Niguel City Center Mixed-Use Project is to create a “downtown” environment that features specialty retail, restaurants, office, community-oriented event and programmable spaces, integrated residential apartment homes, a new community library, and extensive walkable open spaces, paseos, and plazas.

The project site (APN 656-242-18), approximately 25 acres in area, is owned by the County of Orange. The property consists of the South County Justice Center (closed in 2008); Orange County Library; County maintenance yard; Orange County Fire Authority Station No. 5; and undeveloped land. The site is immediately adjacent to City Hall. The site is generally bounded by Pacific Island Drive to the north, Alicia Parkway to the east, Crown Valley Parkway to the south, and multifamily residential communities to the west.

The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for summer 2026. Stay tuned for additional updates as more project details become available. Learn more at cityoflagunaniguel.org/citycenter.
