Avella Apartment Community Update
Cypress Village debuted in 2013, featuring a diverse mix of homes near everything Irvine has to offer. The completion of the village comes with the final phase of the Avella apartment community. Here’s a look at what is proposed:
- Avella’s low-rise, 3-story building design would remain consistent in the final phase.
- A total of 313 apartment homes are planned across the adjacent 18-acre vacant property, which is along SR-133.
- Mature cypress and olive trees will be planted along Sand Canyon Avenue and Great Park Boulevard creating expansive landscaped setbacks that Cypress Village is known for.
- Planning includes a new neighborhood park, swimming pool and tot lot for families, as well as nearby recreational amenities at the Great Park, the Jeffrey Open Space Trail and Cypress Village Community Park.
- Four acres of the property will be dedicated to the City of Irvine to support affordable housing goals.
- Residents will have easy access to Cypress Community Shopping Center and Woodbury Town Center with Irvine Spectrum Center less than three miles away.
- The City has also approved 11 acres of grocery-anchored retail, shopping and dining at the southern portion of Great Park Neighborhoods, less than a mile from Avella.
