Gateway Village Project

The Gateway Village Project is a residential development located at the northeast corner of Portola Parkway and Jeffrey Road in Irvine, California. The project involves the construction of 1,360 attached and detached homes on approximately 105 acres. In addition to housing, the development includes the creation of five parks totaling roughly 7.2 acres, the extension of the Jeffrey Open Space Trail, and the establishment of public access points and improvements within the Gateway Preserve Open Space. The project is being developed by Brookfield Residential, LLC in coordination with the City of Irvine. The project has undergone extensive environmental review to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, including a full Environmental Impact Report and a Notice of Determination certifying that the project will not have a significant environmental effect provided mitigation measures are adopted. Technical assessments have been completed for hydrology, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, and cultural and paleontological assets. Infrastructure planning includes a Sub-Area Master Plan for potable, sanitary sewer, and non-potable water systems, with water supply verification provided by the Irvine Ranch Water District. Construction is planned in multiple phases from 2026 through 2032, covering grading, site preparation, and building construction. Safety and risk management measures include a fire behavior analysis, a conceptual fuel modification plan, and an evacuation travel time analysis to address wildfire hazards. Environmental site assessments have also identified the need for a Soil Management Plan to handle contaminants from historical agricultural use. The project is supported by various agencies, including Caltrans, and adheres to the City of Irvine's 2045 General Plan Safety Element.
