The open-air lifestyle center features an architectural character reminiscent of a contemporary vineyard. Raising the bar on sustainable retail, the developer carefully designed and implemented a range of features and construction methods to ensure a lower ecological footprint and to create a thriving community as a focal point for the surrounding neighborhoods.
With an aesthetic inspired by California’s elegant and eclectic wine-making regions, the project incorporates active vineyards and ancient field-grown olive and oak trees throughout. The Vineyards pamper and entertain its guests with an array of pedestrian amenities, play areas, gathering/event spaces, and dining experiences, while setting a new standard in sustainable development.
To complement the 220,000-square foot lifestyle center, The Vineyards at Porter Ranch includes a 100-room hotel, 50,000-square foot Kaiser medical office building and gated 266-residence luxury apartment community.
LEED Silver certified, the retail center features storm water capture systems for increased water efficiency, eco-friendly fixtures, car charging stations, photovoltaic systems, native and drought tolerant landscaping. All features integrate with some of the best and latest technologies for a sustainable operation.
