Project description

Canyon Hills is a 141-acre, 76-lot property located in Chino Hills in San Bernardino County. The land plan was designed around the rolling topography and native oaks to optimize open space and view premiums. Chino Hills is one of the best markets in the Inland Empire, boasting outstanding schools and one of the highest median household incomes in the country. The property is within easy commuting distance of Orange County, Los Angeles County and Ontario International Airport.

Background

The previous owners of Canyon Hills spent more than 10 years and millions of dollars planning and entitling the property. When the market crashed in 2008, they were motivated by the ability to carry-back tax losses from the sale of the property. Forestar closed on the property less than one month after signing a letter of intent.

Value added

The main impediment to developing Canyon Hills was the lack of sewer service in this part of Chino Hills. However, a nearby project extended a sewer main and built a pump station to serve Canyon Hills. In addition, Forestar enhanced the value of the property value by adding a gated entry and extending water and sewer lines to the property. Forestar sold the property to Woodbridge Pacific Group, which has since built and sold all 76 homes.
