The Vision

Decades in the making, the vision for Marina Station has been shaped by thoughtful planning, community input and close collaboration with the City of Marina. Now, this long-awaited community is set to bring that vision to life. Marina Station will serve as a model for responsible growth in Monterey, with inclusivity at its core.

Frequently Asked Questions

Marina Station provides for a residential development capacity of approximately 1,360 dwelling units, 60,000 square feet of commercial retail, 143,808 square feet of office space and 651,624 square feet of industrial uses. Of the 1,360 residential units, approximately 887 are single-family units and 473 are multifamily units. Uses include low-, medium- and high-density residential, commercial, office, industrial, parks and conservation/open space for wildlife conservation and passive recreation.

With the construction of Phase 3 of the community, major improvements will be made to Del Monte Boulevard along the project’s boundary. These improvements include the construction of two new roundabouts and lane restriping to improve traffic flow in the area.

Formal “private” parks within Marina Station will include small sub-neighborhood pocket parks, neighborhood parks, playfields and playgrounds.

Marina Station will also construct and dedicate to the City of Marina several “public” parks and open spaces.  The amenities in these parks include a community sports field, tot lots, play structures, picnic tables, a basketball court, benches, BBQ grills, trash cans and pet waste disposal systems. As part of the “public” parks improvements, Marina Station has agreed to make a $275,000 contribution to the City that they will use to construct a bathroom for the existing Windy Hill Park.

Additionally, Marina Station worked with the Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway organization (“FORTAG”) to receive their approval for designated path and bicycle routes through the Marina Station community. These designated routes will further their mission of implementing a regional trail system.

A habitat restoration plan has been prepared that outlines the process to preserve and restore a 108-acre mosaic of coastal dune scrub and native grassland/wildflower and Monterey spineflower. The restored habitats are expected to support both common and rare local native wildlife species known to occur in the area, including a variety of birds, coast horned lizard, burrowing owl and California legless lizard.  A conservation easement will be placed on the 108 acres, and the area will ultimately be conveyed to a third-party non-profit that will own and manage the acreage in perpetuity.

The project is divided into eight phases. It is anticipated that it will take approximately 10 – 12 years to complete build-out. This timeframe is subject to change due to market conditions and other unanticipated variables.

Land improvements have been started for Phases 1 and 2, which are located in the southern end of the community.  It is anticipated that the infrastructure improvements for these phases are targeting completion approximately in the first half of 2026. This work will include the planned connections to Beach Road, Crescent Avenue, De Forest Road, Del Monte Boulevard, Michelle Court and Sells Court.

Per an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City of Marina, the community will provide 272 below-market-rate affordable homes. The homes will be spread throughout the community and include:

95 – Moderate-Income For-Sale Townhomes

95 – Low-Income Apartments

82 – Very-Low-Income Apartments

These homes will be sold and rented pursuant to the City of Marina Below Market Rate Housing Program Administrative Policies and Procedures.

Marina Station has removed seven (7) trees, as approved by the Tree Committee, and will plant thousands of new trees of various species and sizes throughout the community along the streets and within the parks and open spaces.

Marina Station is required to dedicate a two-acre portion of its property that is adjacent to Olson Elementary School to the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District when it records its first Final Map. It is anticipated that this dedication will occur in early 2025.
