The first affordable housing communities for low-income families in Irvine's Great Park Neighborhoods held their grand opening Friday.

FivePoint, in partnership with the City of Irvine, is the master developer of Great Park Neighborhoods, a master planned set of neighborhoods built around central parks.

The Luminaira and Espaira communities at Parasol Park have a total of 166 apartment homes for low-income families. Units range from 809 SF to 1,129 SF. The projects include a 4K SF leasing and social services center with a kitchen, a media lounge, a computer center and a play area.

On-site services include after-school programs and educational classes. Other amenities include a pool, a barbecue and picnic pavilion, a dog run and electric vehicle charging stations. The projects have tuck-under garages to maximize outdoor space and community areas, and provide additional guest parking.
