Geoffrey H. Edmunds, president of Geoffrey H.

Retailers scheduled to open in the fall will include the Urban Ranch Market, a market and deli for everyday groceries; Phan 55, a Vietnamese restaurant; Fukada Japanese restaurant; Coffee,Craft & Deli and Plaza Dry Cleaners.

The luxury condominium project is the third tower in the 13-acre master-planned development that also includes The Plaza-Irvine. The 3000 The Plaza tower features units ranging from 1,375 sf to 3,025 sf.

Designed by the architectural firm MV&P International, with landscaping by SWA and interior design by Parisi Portfolio, the 15-story tower includes 11 levels of single-story residences over enclosed parking. Ten penthouse units sit at the top of the tower.

The developers cite a number of selling points for the condos in addition to their design: a location adjacent to the open space of the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, proximity to John Wayne Airport and Newport Beach, and the convenience of nearby shopping, dining and entertainment.
