SWA Group: www.swagroup.com Newport / Irvine Coast Planned Community Newport Coast is a large, “high-end” residential development located on the coastal hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Master planned in the 1980’s, the overall plan included roadways, hotels, residential communities, a community park and a number of smaller neighborhood parks, and open space areas. The landscape is envisioned to be evocative of the surrounding natural landscape and to maximize views. Each community is designed to fit in with the overall coastal landscape concept, but will retain its own unique character. Because of the location of the project, the plan was processed through the Coastal Commission as well as the approvals process of Orange County.
