The Village Redevelopment
The Village
South Coast Village came to life in 1973 as an award-winning 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 look furnished by lamp posts imported from London. The movie theater rounded out the Village and the great potential of the former lima bean farm was realized with South Coast Plaza to the south and Town Center to the south-east.
