IRVINE, CA—FivePoint Communities has begun historic demolition of former military runways at the Orange County Great Park here, the first phase of a $250-million improvement program that will accelerate construction of a wide range of new sports, recreational and environmental amenities at the park. The firm, which is the development manager of the master-planned Great Park Neighborhoods, will develop 688 acres of the Great Park’s nearly 1,300 acres as part of an agreement approved by the Irvine City Council in November 2013.

All of the improvements will be funded privately by FivePoint, but they will be returned upon completion to the City of Irvine as public amenities. The agreement also includes provisions that allow the City of Irvine to realize more than $1 billion over 40 years for Great Park operations and maintenance.
