West Coast Fire Stop is currently handling the installation of expansion joints for Parking Structures B, and C. For Parking Structure D specifically, the work is being self-performed by the experienced team at Swinerton Builders. Encore Building Products & National Building Specialties, supplying all pedestrian-rated expansion joint covers and expansion foams for these structures, ensuring both safety and comfort for daily foot traffic. Encore is partnering with MM Systems of Pendergrass, GA to supply OEM materials for all three projects. 

This attention to safety and structural integrity is just one piece of the larger OC Vibe vision. Led by the Samueli family—owners of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks—the 100-acre master-planned district is set to transform the area bounded by the Santa Ana River and the Orange Freeway into a vibrant hub of activity.

At full buildout, OC Vibe will include:

• A 5,700-seat concert venue
• 1.1 million square feet of office space (including a new 325,000 SF building)
• 1,500 residential units (15% of which will be affordable housing)
• 20 acres of public open space, including a 5-acre riverfront park
• 230,000 square feet of commercial and retail space
• Two hotels with a combined 550 guest rooms
• Nearly 11,000 total parking spaces

Construction activity is currently focused on the western portion of the site, near Katella Avenue and Douglass Road. This initial phase includes an office building, a vibrant market hall with restaurants and bars, a concert venue, and expansive parking infrastructure.

Parking structures are scheduled to be the first components to open in 2025, followed by the market hall and concert venue in 2026. Additional entertainment spaces—including a 2,000-seat theater and private club—are slated for 2027. The district’s new green spaces and the first of two hotels are expected to open in 2028, with the second hotel and residential units arriving by 2029 or later.

OC Vibe is more than a development—it's a bold reimagining of how people live, work, and play in the heart of Orange County.
