Great Park Neighborhoods

GP: ~10k additional residential units
TL: ~1k additional residential units

No comparison.

You are correct. I thought TL had a lot more homes slated but their website indicates that 1680 homes are currently built, and another 2100 homes are planned.  That number will be dwarfed by the onslaught of homes in GP.

Yea, I fixed my post, it's actually ~2k more homes including the apartments.  Anton Legacy = 225, Legacy Villas = 553

No way 700!!!  5000 is a more believable number.  Baker Ranch alone will have 2400 homes and it is smaller than Great Park.

And yes, like Tyler said, it's 10,000 homes not 5,000.

Your council passed it... much to the dismay of some members here.

Thinking Ridge Valley will have a decent amount of traffic once PS and GP get more built out from peeps wanting to avoid Sand Canyon. Having the turnaround helps.

Everytime I drive down Ridge Valley, it's the folks living in the poor man enclave of portola springs using it.

I agree.  I just drove PP and it looks tired/boring for some reason.  Overall landscaping looks cheap.  The exterior perimeter walls that are painted black also looks horrible.  Why didn't PP just keep using that nice stone wall for all of the perimeter of PP?  Average home prices in PP are $1MM but the neighborhood feels less than that.

It will be all stone. Some parts are Black now during construction period.

That is very good to hear.  PP should finish it out ASAP.  It would give the development a more polished look.  Also, they need more color in the landscaping.  Most everything is brown, not even green.

Do you know for a fact if the black walls are temporary? They look horrible, and they also look rather permanent to me. Why not put the stone veneer on the block wall to begin with? What purpose does the black serve? The landscaping is nice, plus right now it's probably the peak of dormancy for most of the trees/plants.

It's black and then they stick the "stone" on top of it.  Some areas of Portola Parkway were black and they have since covered it.  Why did they not do it all at once?  I'm not sure.  I suspect some areas are still black due to construction.  Others may be still black b/c they haven't gotten to it yet.  Still not sure why people are so focused on this "black" wall that is temporary.

I watched them construct some of the current walls that have the stone veneer. Those were not black beforehand. It's certainly possible that they'll be putting up the stone veneer on the black areas, but that's not how it was done on the current areas. I certainly hope so, because the black areas are very ugly.
