BUENA PARK, CA—Two residential development firms, City Ventures and Jamboree Housing Corporation, will join Buena Park city officials and staff Tuesday to break ground for two new housing projects at the old Buena Park City Yard. The two developments are the first housing projects to be built on the 10-acre site that was originally purchased by the city for its revitalization initiative before the demise of the city's Redevelopment Agency in early 2012.

The groundbreaking will be held at 8071 Page Street from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. Participants include City of Buena Park staff and elected officials as well as representatives from City Ventures and Jamboree. Interview and photo opportunities are available.

The Parker Collection by City Ventures and Clark Commons by Jamboree represent a unique groundbreaking in Orange County with the simultaneous construction start of a market-rate for sale development and an affordable rental housing community within the same neighborhood. The master-planned neighborhood is a focal point of the City of Buena Park's revitalization initiative and, when complete, will encompass a neighborhood park and pool and 128 solar-powered townhomes and lofts developed by City Ventures plus 70 workforce apartments developed by Jamboree.
