24500 Alicia PkwyIRVINE SPECTRUM, A UNIQUE CONCEPT
A first drive through today’s Spectrum is truly impressive. The project is first-class in every respect, offers a wide variety of commercial and residential options, and the ease of movement throughout is remarkable. There is nothing accidental about it, either.
Unlike other major projects that are built without the benefit of long term planning by a single owner, the Irvine Spectrum stands alone in the fact that its massive infrastructure was planned and largely completed before individual parcels were developed. That means that many of the pitfalls associated with developing in major metro areas have been avoided.
The project is divided into seven distinct areas, all of which strictly adhere to a single master plan. To get development underway in earnest, the principal owner of the entire project, The Irvine Company, decided on a development strategy that included the sale of finished land sites to several of the region’s premier commercial property builders. Each was given wide latitude in terms of project design and construction materials, but with strict control of overall quality. This allowed each project to be unique and reduced the possibility of a ‘cookie-cutter’ look and feel, a common pitfall of large, master-planned developments.
