One of the largest development projects in Orange County history is rapidly taking shape in Anaheim as construction continues on Phase 1 of the $4 billion OCVibe entertainment district. Located around the Honda Center and near the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), the 100-acre mixed-use project aims to transform the area into a year-round destination featuring entertainment venues, restaurants, offices, public parks, hotels, housing, and community gathering spaces.
