Think Together Mixed-Use Development

The project, titled Think Together Mixed-Use Development, involves the demolition of two existing office buildings and surface parking in Santa Ana, California, to make way for a seven-story residential building containing 274 dwelling units, with 14 designated as affordable housing for extremely low-income households, fulfilling a 5 percent affordability requirement. The development will incorporate 6,040 square feet of resident amenity space, 20,714 square feet of ground-floor commercial use, 439 parking spaces, and a total of 49,285 square feet of open space divided between 38,619 square feet of private/common areas and 10,666 square feet of publicly accessible open space. This project is governed by Site Plan Review No. 2026-1-SPR and Density Bonus Agreement No. 2026-1-WDV, which facilitate increased density and associated incentives in exchange for the inclusion of affordable units and public benefits. The applicant, Randy Barth of Think Together, a California nonprofit corporation, is working with the City of Santa Ana, whose Associate Planner, Fernanda Arias Hernandez, is the primary point of contact for regulatory coordination and permitting review. The project is formally forecasted under the city’s environmental review system with a posted date of June 2, 2026, and is positioned for development within the 92705 zip code area.
