Disney Gives First Glimpse of Residential Plans For Cotino, A Storyliving Community
Disney has finally unveiled more information about its plans for Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney community.
Located in California’s Coachella Valley, the “first chapter” of the community will have more than 300 homes, one-third of which will be set aside for residents 55 years old and up. The community will feature smaller Cottage Collection homes, medium-sized Grand Collection houses, and sprawling Estate Collection plots. All residences will be single-family homes.
“We’re thoughtfully and intentionally bringing elements to the community to encourage camaraderie among neighbors while also using our renowned Disney placemaking to weave the essence and beauty of the Coachella Valley into the fabric of the community,” said Claire Bilby, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Signature Experiences Emerging Businesses. “Alongside the developer and builders, we’re creating a special place where residents will have a distinctive lifestyle that can only be found in the Cotino community.”
Longtable Park
New concept art released by Disney gives a glimpse of Longtable Park. The name of the park was inspired by Walt Disney, who would join his neighbors for a group breakfast around a long table during his visits to Coachella Valley.
The homes dedicated to residents 55 and older will be placed around the park. Disney hopes that here residents will “foster friendship among neighbors.”
In addition to the long table that gives the park its namesake, the park will also include barbeque and picnic areas.
Laughing Place Ranch
Also located at Cotino will be a dog park named Laughing Place Ranch. Here, pets will be able to frolic in the equestrian-themed dog park. There will be a separate play area for small and large pets.
Originally announced in February 2022, Disney hopes to have the first phase of Cotino open by early 2024.
