OCVIBE
A Sports-Anchored Community Centered on Entertainment and Connection
OCVIBE reimagines the area surrounding Honda Center in Anaheim as a vibrant sports and entertainment district where culture, recreation, and community life come together.
Located in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle, OCVIBE is a $5 billion privately funded, 100-acre mixed-use development by the Samueli Family, owners of the Anaheim Ducks, and OC Sports and Entertainment. The project advances the city’s long-term vision for the area surrounding Honda Center and Angel Stadium.
A Cultural and Entertainment District
The master plan brings together a 25,000-person entertainment venue, 2000+ residences, including affordable housing, 168,000 square feet of innovative office space, 500+ hotel rooms, and 35+ dining concepts. Designed to activate the district throughout the day and beyond scheduled events, OCVIBE offers a changing mix of cultural programming and immersive entertainment experiences for residents, workers, and visitors. The development also rethinks the relationship between major entertainment venues and their surrounding neighborhoods, replacing expansive surface parking areas with pedestrian-friendly streets, parks, and riverfront open spaces.
Accessible District Experiences
RIOS’s master planning and experience design shape a cohesive and accessible urban experience throughout the development. The master plan establishes a network of destinations, public spaces, and connections to improve circulation and help visitors navigate the district. This connected vision brings together pedestrian bridges, walkways, and landscaped streets, including a landmark bridge over Katella Avenue linking the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) to Honda Center. The Paseo, a pedestrian corridor formed by closing a portion of Douglass Road, invites visitors to explore restaurants, shops, and outdoor spaces along a central walkway.
Four public plazas each offer a unique character and program. An urban plaza hosts concerts and community gatherings, a sports-focused plaza extends activity around the Honda Center, and smaller entertainment spaces encourage exploration. RIOS’s signage and experiential elements reinforce this network of destinations. An impactful monument sign welcomes visitors to the district, while garage wraps and skins give parking structures recognizable identities that help visitors find their way. Experiential kiosks serve as billboards and site markers while offering shade and respite. These elements establish a cohesive district identity, support intuitive navigation, and encourage visitors to explore on major event days to everyday recreation.
A Connected Urban Community
OCVIBE will convert 62 acres of former parking areas into an active urban landscape, introducing 20 acres of parks and plazas, 3 miles of walking trails, and public art throughout the district, offering places to unwind. The project is taking shape in phases, with early infrastructure and parking improvements paving the way for new entertainment venues, public plazas, and pedestrian connections beginning in 2027. Additional residential, hospitality, and commercial development will follow, setting the stage for a new chapter in Anaheim’s growth.
