Why One Metro West is great for Costa Mesa

Strong Economic Impact

One Metro West will bring a positive economic impact to Costa Mesa — estimated to exceed $350 million annually within the city boundaries. This investment comes at a time when our city needs it most. Invigorating our local economy and boosting small businesses:




More jobs

This community will also bring approximately 1,800 permanent jobs, along with 500 indirect jobs to Costa Mesa – contributing to higher employment, a higher tax base, more revenue for the city, and an overall stronger Costa Mesa.

More buying power

The residents of One Metro West will be aspirational and affluent, directly spending approximately $38 million annually into Costa Mesa’s business. This is a tremendous boost of buying power within the community, with plenty of shops and restaurants within easy walking or biking distance. Rent relief from affordable housing options, also gives more spending power to residents, by reducing rent costs.

 

We are committed to helping ensure a bright future for the SOCO and The OC Mix neighborhood




Strong Community Ties

Owner-builder One Metro West has and will continue to engage with the community to build programs and host events that benefit local residents.



More funding for community services

Funding for parks, policy/fire services and utilities, investing an additional $6.5 million for public safety, economic recovery and infrastructure improvements.

More perks for pedestrians

More professional diversity

Combining creative residential and office spaces, One Metro West will be the vibrant home of professionals and workers.

More reasons to stay in Costa Mesa

North of the 405 is becoming a center of Orange County’s creative culture. With new options to live, work and play there, it can be one of the neighborhoods that help keep creative Costa Mesa graduates and young professionals living and working here, while drawing some of the best and brightest from around the state, county and globe.

As a long-time observer (and writer) of events in our city, I write to you today in support of this project. It seems to me that this project, which combines much-needed housing with retail and commercial space, in an appropriate venue north of the I-405 Freeway, is a perfect application to meet the needs for our city at the right time.
