Disney and DMB Development executives and local community leaders gathered in Rancho Mirage, California, to celebrate work starting on the first Storyliving by Disney community. During the ceremony, Disney shared that sales for Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney community, are expected to begin in early 2023 and the first homes are anticipated to be completed in early 2024. Additional locations in the U.S. are under exploration for future development.
In addition to residential housing, the Cotino community has Specific Plan approval for a mixed-use district which is expected to feature a vibrant range of shopping, dining and entertainment and a hotel.
Per the Specific Plan approval for the development, the Cotino community is also expected to surround an approximately 24-acre grand oasis featuring clear turquoise waters with Crystal Lagoons® technology, enabling crystalline lagoons of any size to be built sustainably, with low water consumption and using a minimum amount of energy.
A voluntary club membership will offer access to a waterfront clubhouse, a club-only beach area and recreational water activities, as well as Disney programming, entertainment and activities. A professionally managed beach park with recreational water activities will be accessible to the public through the purchase of a day pass.
Cotino will welcome homeowners of all ages and will include at least one section expressly for 55+ residents. Home buyers will have a range of home types to choose from, including estates, single family homes and condominiums.
