Vivante on the Coast is a 194,500 SF, fully integrated senior living community designed to deliver a personalized, resort-style experience. Set on a 4.7-acre infill site in Costa Mesa, the 185-unit residence offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care within a cohesive environment that supports aging in place. Residents are able to remain in their chosen home as their needs evolve, with services brought directly to them, creating continuity, comfort, and long-term stability.
Licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), the community is thoughtfully planned to accommodate residents of all mobility levels across every floor. A dedicated memory care neighborhood provides a secure, supportive setting with its own entry, dining, and activity spaces. Throughout the building, a wide range of amenities, including dining venues, wellness and fitness spaces, indoor pool, social lounges, golf simulator, bowling alley, and activity areas, support daily life while fostering connection, independence, and well-being.
Developed on a remediated brownfield site, the project transforms a previously underutilized property into a vibrant residential community. Outdoor courtyards and gathering spaces bring light and activity into the heart of the development, reinforcing a strong indoor-outdoor connection. The result is a place that feels both elevated and grounded, combining thoughtful planning, environmental responsibility, and a lifestyle-driven approach to senior living.
