Why Awesometown?

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Some people wondered why we started calling Valencia “Awesometown.” While the word may conjure up images of skateboarding robots hanging out in the town center or dogs dancing to ’80s music along the Paseos (both of which would be supremely awesome), it really captures the spirit of Valencia. This is a town where people look out for each other, where neighbors are neighborly and where, even in a time when technology seems to take over our lives, there still exists an active sense of community.

In the process of brainstorming our new campaign, we asked local residents for their thoughts about life in Valencia. People raved about Valencia’s unique lifestyle, great schools, incredible friendliness and convenient shopping and dining. Many folks even described Valencia as awesome. It seemed unusual at first that people would use such a term to describe a town, but the more we thought about it, the more it made sense.

The word awesome refers to something “remarkable or outstanding.” What better way to describe a place with acres of parks, over 30 miles of trails, over 60,000 jobs, one of the nation’s top art colleges, a state-of-the-art hospital and some of the highest ranking schools in the state.

So why did we start calling Valencia Awesometown? Turns out it was Awesome all along.

Disney Brings Its Magic To The Santa Clarita Valley

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Late last year, the Walt Disney Company filed plans to build a large soundstage and production complex on the northwest corner of its Golden Oak Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley. The proposed studio, named Disney | ABC Studios at The Ranch, will span 56 acres of Golden Oaks Ranch. Making movies in the Santa Clarita Valley is nothing new for Disney; the company has used the Golden Oaks Ranch as a filming location for many films over the past 50 years, including Big Top Pee-Wee, Back to the Future, Pete’s Dragon, The Parent Trap (1961), The Shaggy Dog, Old Yeller and more.

While not right in the midst of Valencia, Disney | ABC Studios at the Ranch is directly adjacent and will add even more to the unique live/work environment Valencia residents have come to love. The studios will also create many new opportunities for area residents and businesses. According to Disney, the new studio will bring in over 3,000 jobs during construction and will provide nearly as many full- and part-time jobs once completed. Full details of the project, including frequently asked questions, economic projections, renderings, interactive tours and more, can be found on the studio’s website at http://www.studiosattheranch.com/. If you would like to stay up to date on the project (as well as receive notification when they begin hiring), sign up for their newsletter, at http://www.studiosattheranch.com/support.

A New Address for Newhall Land

Friday, February 12th, 2010

So, for all the Newhall Land junkies out there, you may know that we have spent most of our formative years in a two-story building on Valencia Boulevard, next to the Sheriff’s Station and Library.

We were pioneers then – long before City Hall, the Bank of America building, the Auto Club and, of course, the mall (I mean Valencia Town Center!).  Our chain ensconced building (the chains are actually cleverly disguised rain gutters) was an early landmark in Valencia.  And it was a great building – for 33 years.

Today, its 1970’s design wasn’t as efficient or conducive to collaboration as our business demands  and, as we were smaller in numbers from our old homebuilding days, we rattled around in it.

Find us now in a cool building off of Tourney Road – 25124 Springfield Court – in Valencia Corporate Center.  We have the whole 3rd floor in a very interactive state-of-the-art environment. Oh, and did I mention the views?!  We are still right off of Valencia Boulevard, but we are inching closer to the next phase of our Valencia story – Newhall Ranch.

Visit us at www.valencia.com, or 25124 Springfield Court or catch us around the community.  Newhall Land is in a new location for the new decade and still very much a part of the Santa Clarita Valley!
