Shapell Liberty Investment Properties Breaks Ground on $150 Million Mixed-Use Project in Los Angeles

by Katie Sloan

Los Angeles — Shapell Liberty Investment Properties has broken ground on The Vineyards at Porter Ranch, a $150 million mixed-use project in Los Angeles’ Porter Ranch neighborhood.

In addition to restaurants and shops, the 345,000-square-foot development will include a movie theater, Whole Foods Market, Kaiser-Permanente medical office building, hotel and 266-unit luxury apartment complex.

The Vineyards is being developed on the north and south sides of Rinaldi Street at the western intersection of Porter Ranch Drive. The design includes a main street and central green area that will host community events. Other features include a 4,000-square-foot community meeting room, solar panels on rooftops to help supply power to the complex, a rainwater capture and irrigation recycling system, and electric car charging stations.

A joint venture between Shapell Properties Inc. and Liberty Building Co. is developing the project. “The Vineyards will be a sophisticated, pedestrian-oriented retail experience that not only will serve as a central gathering spot for Porter Ranch residents, but also as the prime choice for higher-end shops and restaurants serving this entire region,” says John Love, vice president of Shapell Properties.

Completion of the main shopping center is expected in late 2018. Additional phases, including the hotel and apartment community, are slated for completion by 2020.
