The Segerstrom family has had a longstanding and impactful presence in Santa Ana and the broader Orange County community since 1898. Generations of the Segerstrom family have attended schools, raised children, and participated in local organizations in Santa Ana while maintaining a thriving family business. 

After decades of growing lima beans and raising dairy cattle, the family set about transforming former agricultural fields into vibrant centers of commerce and culture. One such project, South Coast Plaza Village, came to life in 1973 as a collection of 70 shops and restaurants, each with its own personal character, clustered around the “Village Green” in an open-air environment with cobblestone streets and an old-world charm. As the family continues its stewardship of the land, they will improve many of the original elements—a central green space, four-sided architecture, abundant landscaping—in building the Village Santa Ana. 

The Village Santa Ana will be an extension of the Segerstrom family’s high-quality work and legacy over the last 125 years—promoting community-centered investments that support local culture and organizations and encourage successful business development. The Village will continue to be a good neighbor in the Santa Ana community while addressing the desire in Orange County for a more urban, active, and vibrant outdoor-oriented environment.
