Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Locate your company in CoronaCorona continues to benefit from its position as the premier address for companies looking for industrial commercial or office space On the edge of Orange County Corona offers a premium location well-suited for a variety of business needs According to Brian Hull Vice President of Lee amp Associates Commercial Real Estate Services ldquoCoronarsquos leasing and sales activity has regained its strength after bottom-ing out in the first quarter of 2009 The past three quarters have averaged a half million square feet of absorption (per quarter) which is a healthy clip given historical standards The vacancy rate of eight percent (8) is also one of the lowest rates around when compared to other markets in the Inland Empire and Orange Countyrdquo
One of the main drivers in getting deals com-pleted has been the recent price corrections Tenants and buyers have postponed making real estate decisions for long enough and are finally getting off the fence to ldquoright-sizerdquo their real estate needs The other main driver is Coronarsquos reputation for being an excellent place to do business as well as its ample employment base and central location For these reasons once a company moves to Corona they are afforded a tremendous opportunity to thrive and grow their businessrdquo Coupled with a quality lifestyle and affordable housing Corona has become one of the leading economic and social contributors to the region

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment

guaranteed the intersection of Main Street and Sixth Street (heart of the Downtown) are two of the Cityrsquos most traveled streets providing exposure to business by the thousands every day The Downtown is also just a half a mile away from the North Main Street District Multi-Modal Site And whatrsquos more convenient our pedestrians donrsquot have to drive They can easily walk the Downtown or take the Corona Cruiser our local transit to the mass transit points of departure and arrival
North Main Street District
Over the past few years the City and Redevelopment Agency have taken a disheartened area and sparked new life into a District with new office space retail restaurants the North Main Metrolink Station the Fender Museum These efforts are encouraging additional new development enhancing property values and providing the necessary synergy for the continual re-energizing of a vibrant mixed use transit oriented District In the near future you will see the following new projects contributing to the resurgence of this area
Corona North Main Residential
The Corona North Main Apartments will be a three phased mixed use development comprised of approximately 830 residential units and 74000 square feet of commercial retail The residential units will have recreational amenities such as swimming pools spas fitness centers basketball court and outdoor recreational areas with fireplaces The architectural design character of the residential units can best be
described as ldquoUrban Californiardquo A mixture of flat and pitched roof areas metal detailing and stone veneer and a blending of color selections in Phase I Phase II will crossover into a more urban motif suitable for a mixed use transit oriented design With strategic building placement housing units built over retail connecting pedestrian walkways that encourage a sense of community inviting people to walk gather and open spaces coupled with the varying building heights this project will give the North Main District a unique urban character and provide easy access to the nearby Metrolink station

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos

High Speed Rail StationIn November of 2008 California voters approved nearly $10 billion towards the construction of a statewide high-speed rail system Now with funding and support from the federal government a statewide high-speed rail system connecting all of the major metropolitan areas of the state is becoming reality While initial construction funds are being focused on the backbone of the system from Anaheim to San Francisco the California High-Speed Rail Authority is also conducting the necessary engineering and environmental studies to determine the alignment and station stops between Los Angeles and San Diego An alignment along the I-15 Freeway corridor with a station at Coronas Dos Lagos is one of the key routes under consideration for this segment
Corona enthusiastically supports a station in town and is actively working with the High-Speed Rail Authority to assist with their consideration of alternatives A station in Corona would connect our businesses and residents with San Francisco in approximately three hours ndash with San Diego in approximately 45 minutes ndash and with all stops in between in a safe and reliable manner Beyond the obvious mobility benefits of a high-speed rail station in Corona our community would also benefit from the initial and lasting economic stimulus of the construction and operation of this major transportation system Our Public Works Community Development and Economic Development staffs are working together with local business interests to make high-speed rail a reality for Coronarsquos Dos Lagos
