The Walt Disney Company broke ground on Cotino, a new housing community that will be the first Storyliving neighborhood in the U.S.
It's not a theme park and it's not in Disney World -- it's a new housing community in Southern California's Coachella Valley.
More than 600 acres of open land in Rancho Mirage are about to be transformed into Cotino, a location that was once a retreat for Walt Disney and his wife, Lillian. "The story is really about the residents of the community," said Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences."This is what makes this so very, very different. Because it isn't just about our program -- which will be spectacular -- but it is really where our residents and the community can write and live their own story."
The development will offer single-family homes and condominiums, plus a hotel, shopping, dining and entertainment -- even a beach in the middle of the desert. "This is a full community," said Michael Hundgen, a Walt Disney Imagineering executive producer."And what we're hoping is that folks here can treat this like their creative oasis."
