Menifee officials and two Newport Beach companies recently dug the first shovels into what will become Legado, a master-planned community of 1,000 new homes.
IHP Capital Partners and Newport Pacific Land traveled to the Inland Empire to break ground on the 330-acre community, which will also include standard amenities such as a pool and recreation center, and a 13-acre public park with a community center and athletic fields.
A mixed-use mall near the I-215 freeway will encompass 50 acres of shopping and retail.
“Legado’s official landmark event marks an exciting new chapter in Menifee’s evolution as one of the fastest growing cities in California,” said Eric Koff, senior vice president of IHP Capital Partners.
Construction of Legado is expected to be completed by summer 2026. Residential property sales are expected to begin in spring 2024.

OTL moves to Dallas for Mustang Plaza revitalization
It’s not every day that bronze ponies that are prancing in the water are fitted with new hoof nozzles.
This was just part of a major renovation of a 40-year-old fountain in Irving, Texas.
Anaheim-based Outside the Lines was part of a multi-company project tasked with rejuvenating the waterworks at Williams Square’s Mustang Plaza.
The company, in conjunction with SWA Group’s Dallas office and Structure Tone Southwest, has updated much of the unseen systems that live beneath the fountain and its nine bronze mustangs.
OTL, which specializes in unique water features, renovated the fountain’s equipment room, removed existing plumbing and electrical work, and built updated pumps, controls, and treatment systems. In the process of updating the water system, OTL also had to install newly manufactured hoof nozzles while retaining the mustangs’ iconic splash.
“We were able to tap into the original designer of the hoof nozzles, Dan Ricciardi, to have new nozzles made with precision,” said Barry Caylor, an OTL executive. “They were designed to be adjustable to create the desired splash effect. Retaining the nozzles from the original designer after 40 years is an example of the dedication of everyone involved in the project.”
Originally designed by SWA Dallas and built in 1983, the fountain is located at the center of The Towers in Williams Square in Las Colinas.
