Intracorp Answers Call for Housing in Claremont

A five-acre land parcel in Claremont is slated as Intracorp Homes’ newest housing development. The 96-home community will include a mix of single-family detached homes, duplexes and townhomes. The project marks the end of the multi-phase development of the Old School House Specific Plan/OSH which has been underway for more than a decade.

The Specific Plan for OSH/Claremont Inn Revitalization was first proposed to city officials in 2006 with intent to convert a vacant hotel into residential condominiums and build a 240-space three-level parking structure north of the building. However, after several delays that resulted from the 2008 financial crisis and major design revisions, adjustments to the current site and numerous underground infrastructure improvements, the plan continuously evolved until the final proposal was approved in January 2020.

Located at the northwest corner of Indian Hill and Foothill Boulevards, the OSH development encompasses a Doubletree Hotel, Trader Joe’s, and mixed-use retail and office space. These additions were completed in earlier phases of the project by the property’s original owner who bought the OSH and Griswold’s complex in 2005.

Intracorp purchased the site through a joint venture partnership with Newport Beach-based IHP Capital Partners. Construction is planned to commence this quarter with initial sales anticipated in fourth-quarter 2021.
