Corona, CA: Upscale all-inclusive development finally sees homes


Years ago a developer and architect envisioned plans to connect an upscale retail development in South Corona through lakes and bamboo walkways to housing, creating an all-inclusive mini city that few residents would need to leave for necessities.

But after years of falling home prices and a deflated construction market, bankruptcy and struggling retail sales, that vision was put on hold, until this month. Dirt is moving and grading is underway beside Interstate 15 adjacent to the Dos Lagos retail center for a 93 live-work project, project architect Norberto Nardis said.
