The Irvine Ranch transformed from an agricultural empire into the most successful New Town in the United States in less than two generations. Since 1977, some of the most innovative and valuable master-planned residential, commercial, and retail developments have occurred on the Irvine Ranch in the cities of Irvine, Newport Beach, Tustin, and Orange. This book details the Irvine Company’s success in planning and its strategic handling of major challenges, including infrastructure needs and responses to anti-growth sentiment and litigation. From the start of comprehensive planning of the Irvine Ranch in 1960 to today, the development is regarded by planning and real estate experts as the most significant and valuable master-planned community in the nation.

Successive generations of urban planners and real estate developers will look to the Irvine Ranch—shaped by Bren’s long-term leadership—as a model of successful large-scale community development.
