Eastvale – Construction is now taking place to build new Eastvale homes and future construction will occur for the new Downtown Eastvale.

Construction has started at the "158.6-acre plot formerly known as the Leal Property located on the northwest corner of Limonite and Hamner Avenue," said a City news release. "The current construction is taking place on a section of the property that is privately-owned and operated by The New Home Company (TNHC), a private home builder."

"TNHC is building up to 2,500 homes in accordance with the City's Housing Element, approved and certified in 2022 to satisfy the state-mandated Regional Housing Needs Allocation," said the City. "Phase one of this private project will bring 438 market-rate, for-sale homes to Eastvale and is expected to be completed in 2025." The City has a news release on their website that gives more information about this Housing Element.

Many residents have expressed how unhappy they are about homes being built in Eastvale. Many are concerned about traffic, parking, crowdedness, and especially the lack of schools since it's believed our current schools are already crowded. The City responded to concerns on their Facebook page stating that the "Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) has the responsibility of building and maintaining schools within the district. Requests for building or expanding schools should be directed to the district." Residents are encouraged to contact CNUSD for information on additional schools in Eastvale.

The news release also announced that the City is currently "acquiring land from the TNHC to serve as the site of our new civic center." This project will include a new city hall, police station, library and innovation center, civic park, and plaza. This city project is expected to be completed in 2027/2028.

"The third project within the Leal Property is anticipated to bring a "lifestyle" center that will be the centerpiece of Downtown Eastvale," stated the news release. "The City is working to attract a well-qualified commercial developer to construct restaurants, shops, office space, and a hotel in a high-quality walkable environment." This project is expected to begin construction along with the new civic center.

The City said they will continue to update as the project continues. But questions and additional information can be emailed to info@eastvaleca.gov.
