Creating A Community Destination

The Crossings is officially open for business. This means that the zoning change is approved creating more flexible land use and new possibilities for businesses and residents to enjoy.

Through private and public real estate investments, this area will feature districts and activity core that will draw new retailers, restaurants, commercial business relocation opportunities and a limited amount of residential housing. It’s a great mix and offers flexibility for existing property owners. Fountain Valley is considered a Smart City and intends on attracting likeminded partnerships and investors who will develop and reinvest into the Crossings, while providing additional revenue streams for the city.

The Crossings will become a sustainable hub, a gathering place around which the community can grow and a main street that can attract new customers, employees and patrons. The Crossings will provide businesses and residents with broader options, and give property owners more motivation to improve their properties and lease to a wider-array of tenants. The Crossings will realize new improvements and revitalization over a 10 to 20-year horizon.

The Crossings will become a community destination featuring mixed-use living at its best, enjoying sustainable spaces within a city with diversity, culture and vibrancy infusing a new suburban-urban community with an emphasis on dining, shopping, entertaining, working and living.
