Pre-sales Appointments Now Open for the New Community
Storyliving by Disney is sharing some of the designs for the first homes being built in the Cotino community in Rancho Mirage, California, as part of the community’s pre-sales period launching today. Interested homebuyers can learn more about becoming Cotino community residents including specifics on home designs, floorplans and elevations along with details about how to make a pre-sales appointment on the Story of Cotino website.
The first-ever Storyliving by Disney community is currently underway, where the magic of Walt Disney Imagineering and a talented team of industry experts, including DMB Development, will bring the Disney legacy of placemaking and attention to detail to life like never before. Set against the stunning San Jacinto mountains, the beauty of the Coachella Valley has ignited the imaginations of many over the years, including Walt Disney himself.
Disney Connections: Walt and the Coachella Valley
The design of the Cotino community is inspired by everything Walt and Lillian Disney loved about the Coachella Valley – stunning landscape, rich history, friendly neighbors and energizing spirit.
“It seems fitting that Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community, would have a similar setting as the one that Walt loved so much,” said Walt Disney Archives Director Becky Cline. “Walt enjoyed the Palm Springs area as a creative, rejuvenating retreat, and our hope is that it will inspire future homeowners and guests just like it did him.”
Only at Cotino: Home Designs
The first homes will be built by award-winning builder Shea Homes with floorplans designed for this community. From spacious kitchens with walk-in pantries to large dining rooms perfect for family gatherings, the homes in Cotino will offer future residents flexibility to choose an option that works best for them. Open floorplans seamlessly connect indoor space to outdoor courtyards, wrap-around patios and covered terraces designed to truly immerse residents in the region’s natural beauty.
Homes will fall within four distinct design collections – Cotino Coachella Collection, Cotino Agrarian Collection, Cotino Oasis Collection and Cotino Aspiron Collection – representing the rich history and landscape of the Palm Springs area. Walt Disney Imagineering provided the architectural and aesthetic inspiration for each design collection including direction on color palettes, exterior elements and landscaping.
The initial sales launch in early 2024 will include a very limited inventory of Shea Homes. Additional home sites and builders will be introduced in phases through a thoughtful development approach as the community expands. In the future, there are plans for more than 1,900 residential units.
