Lowe Breaks Ground on Apartments at Santa Ana’s Mainplace

Community, civic and business leaders gathered Wednesday for the groundbreaking of The Carina, a new multifamily residential community at 2828 N. Mainplace Dr. that will bring 408 apartments to Mainplace in Santa Ana. Developed by Lowe, in partnership with MainPlace owner Affinius and owner/operator Centennial, The Carina is part of the continued evolution of MainPlace into a mixed-use destination.

Also taking shape is the new MainPlace Culinary District, a 1.25-acre dining and gathering destination that will introduce locally curated culinary concepts and serve as a new gateway into the shopping center at Center Court. The district will serve as a natural connection between the shopping center and the surrounding residential communities as MainPlace continues its transformation into a mixed-use destination.

Executives from Affinius, Centennial and Lowe were joined by Santa Ana Councilmember Jessie Lopez and other community and business leaders to mark the groundbreaking of The Carina and Culinary District.
