Fountain Valley Begins Construction on New 272-Unit Slater Ave Apartment Complex

Construction has officially commenced on the Slater Ave Apartments, a new five-story, 272-unit apartment complex located in Fountain Valley. This major development, situated on 3.34 acres at 10231 Slater Ave, near the intersection of San Mateo, is being spearheaded by JPI, a Texas-based real estate firm, in collaboration with Heitman, a company based in Chicago.

In alignment with housing regulations, the proposed apartment complex will include 33 low-income affordable units, representing approximately 12% of the total units. This initiative aims to enrich the community by introducing more housing options, particularly for those requiring affordable living solutions.

The Slater Ave Apartments will be strategically located directly across from key municipal landmarks, including the Fountain Valley City Hall and the police department, making it a significant addition to the area. The complex is designed not only for living spaces but also to enhance community engagement through various amenities and retail offerings.

The project will feature a variety of commercial spaces along the street-facing side, including a 7,300-square-foot restaurant area and 1,600 square feet for retail. Additionally, a substantial 15,000 square feet of space is dedicated to community amenities aimed at providing residents with a high quality of life. Among the amenities planned are two swimming pools, wellness facilities, co-working lounges, and open-air gathering areas, promoting both relaxation and social interaction.

The construction of the Slater Ave Apartments is projected to take up to two years, with the opening of the apartments anticipated in 2027. JPI has announced that an interest list for prospective residents will be made available 90-120 days prior to occupancy, allowing community members to express their interest in the new apartments.

Additional Developments on the Horizon

Fountain Valley’s city government is actively considering further apartment developments, which include the Magnolia Fountain Valley, a proposed 657-unit complex that will feature income-restricted housing. This development plans to incorporate two mid-rise buildings, a structured parking facility, retail areas, and a public dog park, demonstrating a commitment to creating a well-rounded community.

Another notable proposal, Euclid + Heil, aims to build 304 market-rate apartment units, alongside 83 affordable units for seniors, triplexes, and townhomes. The planning commission for Fountain Valley will conduct a review of these developments during a meeting set for June 11 at Fountain Valley City Hall.

Relevant Local Real Estate Activity

Westport Plaza & Square in Costa Mesa for $25.7 million to Asana Partners, which is home to various local businesses. Also, CNI College, a local nursing school, is broadening its presence by leasing 20,839 square feet in the Pacific Center located in Santa Ana.

Furthermore, R.D. Olson Construction has initiated work on Vintage Farms, an $80 million apartment village in Murrieta, featuring 330 units spread across 11 buildings, equipped with diverse amenities designed for residents.

This ongoing growth in Fountain Valley and the surrounding areas reflects a robust demand for housing and a proactive approach by local developers and the city to meet that demand.
