Timing is perfect for this project! Being in the opportunity zone, the housing need, and the shift of people migrating to mixed use projects is ideal for a project of this magnitude. As you can see; other cities that are innovative, progressive and prosperous have already made this shift for this type of product in their cities. Santa Ana should not miss this opportunity. Key points for consideration: The project is already approved for an Office Tower, we now have the chance to tailor the use for a more conducive use for our city . The economy of the city will improve with more residential tenants spending money to our local merchants. Traffic will be reduced. Residential use will mean less cars than office use; simple fact Already mitigation in place for traffic-calming studies in surrounding neighborhoods
