Think Together Mixed-Use Development

The Think Together Mixed-Use Development project, identified by solicitation number DP-2024-30-NEW, involves the demolition of two existing office buildings and surface parking at 2101 E Fourth St, Santa Ana, California. The project will replace these structures with a seven-story residential building featuring 274 dwelling units, 14 of which are designated as affordable housing for extremely low-income households. Additional project components include 20,714 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, 6,040 square feet of amenity space, 439 parking spaces, 38,619 square feet of private or common open space, and 10,666 square feet of public open space. The project is led by applicant Randy Barth on behalf of Think Together, a California nonprofit corporation, with Fernanda Arias Hernandez serving as the primary contact for the City of Santa Ana. The Planning Commission approved the project on May 28, 2026, and the City Council subsequently upheld this decision on August 4, 2026, after denying an appeal. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is exempt from further environmental review per Section 15168, as it falls within the scope of a previously certified Program EIR.
