What is the Chet Holifield Federal Building?
The Chet Holifield Federal Building, also known as the "Ziggurat," was originally constructed between 1968 and 1971 for North American Aviation/Rockwell International as a manufacturing and office facility but was never occupied by the company. In 1974, the U.S. government acquired the building, which sits on approximately 92 acres of land currently zoned for public/institutional use. Today, the building houses various federal agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland Security. However, due to its federal ownership, the property has not contributed to Laguna Niguel's tax base, depriving the city of potential revenue for schools, police, fire services, and other community needs since its construction over five decades ago.
Green Space
Imagine expansive green areas that weave through the entire development, creating a natural tapestry that connects all aspects of the community. These verdant spaces will host community events, provide tranquil public areas for relaxation, and offer extensive dog walking trails. The green space will serve as the community's lungs, promoting outdoor activities, environmental awareness, and a healthier lifestyle for all residents. From picnic areas to meditation gardens, these green corridors will enhance the quality of life and create a harmonious balance between urban development and nature.
Town Village
Envision a vibrant heart of the community where high-end restaurants, trendy bars, and diverse retail shops converge. This pedestrian-friendly hub will feature small office spaces perfect for local businesses and startups. Interconnected pathways will create a seamless, walkable experience, encouraging social interaction and community engagement. The Village Town Center will be the go-to destination for dining, shopping, and socializing, fostering a strong sense of community and providing a dynamic space for residents and visitors alike.
Residential
Experience a diverse range of housing options designed to meet the needs of various lifestyles and family sizes. From starter homes perfect for young families to luxurious residences, the residential areas will showcase state-of-the-art homes built by the nation's most prominent homebuilders. Additionally, innovative rental projects will offer resort-style amenities, catering to those seeking a more flexible living arrangement. These new residential areas will prioritize modern design, energy efficiency, and community integration, creating neighborhoods that are both beautiful and functional.
Public Recreation Center
At the core of the community's active lifestyle will be a state-of-the-art recreation center. This multifaceted hub will combine learning spaces, sports facilities, and community areas, creating a dynamic environment for all ages to enjoy. The center will be equipped to host local youth tournaments in popular sports such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, and flag football. Beyond sports, it will offer educational programs, fitness classes, and community events, making it a central gathering place that promotes health, education, and social interaction for residents of all ages.

New medical facilities will be developed to engage all age demographics, ensuring accessible healthcare for residents. Commercial spaces will accommodate both emerging startups and established businesses, creating a diverse and thriving business ecosystem.
