Simi Valley Master Plan

Location: Simi Valley, California, USA

Client: Rising Realty Partners

Located in an industrial park atop a prominent hill with panoramic views of Simi Valley and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the 400 National Way Master Plan was developed to revitalize a site that currently houses a vacant 290,000 square foot office building. The project included a public engagement process, and negotiations with the Simi Valley Planning Department, and Ventura County Fire Department to enable the redevelopment of this derelict industrial site into a new mixed-use development.

The master plan proposes a mixed-use ‘Urban Village’ which was supported unanimously by the City Council of Simi Valley. The site plan is based on compact development principles that promote walkability and interconnectivity between land uses. The village is organized along a main street with wide landscaped sidewalks, and the right-of-way includes bike lanes to facilitate local mobility. The project is designed to combine synergistic uses, including a two-story garden-style apartment community, a boutique hotel, community-serving retail, creative office, and a satellite college learning center. The village is connected to nearby hiking paths, and the design incorporates a civic-oriented central plaza that connects all the uses with walkable pathways and public gathering areas.
