What OCVIBE does

OCVIBE is a 100-acre mixed-use entertainment district under development in Anaheim, California, surrounding the operating Honda Center arena. Privately funded by the Samueli Family with a $5 billion commitment and operated through OC Sports & Entertainment, LLC, the project is building a vertically integrated destination that combines sports and entertainment venues, office, retail, dining, residential, hospitality, and public open space. The legal entity was founded in 2024 and is led by CEO Bill Foltz alongside founders Susan and Henry Samueli; first-phase opening is scheduled for early 2027 with full completion targeted for 2033.

The district's product portfolio includes the operating Honda Center (17,000-seat arena), a new 5,000-seat Concert Hall designed by Populous, the Grove of Anaheim, The Weave (a 168,000 sq ft LEED Gold-designed mass timber office building anchored by Kiln coworking), Katella Commons (a 50,000 sq ft chef-driven market hall with 21 kitchens and 6 bar/lounge concepts), 20 acres of parks and plazas with 3 miles of walkable trails, 2,000+ planned residences, 500+ planned hotel rooms, and a 70+ piece public art program designed by FUTUREFORMS. Underlying technology includes a $25 million Daktronics LED digital display system spanning 20,000 sq ft and a License Plate Recognition-based parking management system. The business operates through 10 wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning arena management, hockey team ownership (Anaheim Ducks, San Diego Gulls), real estate development, market hall operations, data, security, and venue operations.

Revenue is generated through office leasing, retail and restaurant leasing, entertainment ticket sales and venue rental, parking fees, hospitality services (F&B, catering, hotels), and private event bookings across Honda Center, ARTIC, Grove of Anaheim, Concert Hall, The Loft, Katella Commons, Urban Park, and future venues. The customer base spans B2B enterprise tenants (office lessees, restaurant operators, event planners acquired via commercial real estate brokers Cushman & Wakefield and JLL) and B2C consumers (sports fans, diners, entertainment attendees, future residents and hotel guests) reached through event-driven foot traffic, digital marketing, and community programming. Distribution is regional across Southern California and Orange County.
