Award-Winning Homebuilders Will Help Bring the First Storyliving by Disney Community to Life in Rancho Mirage, California

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Oct. 10, 2023) – Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community, is announcing Shea Homes, Davidson Communities and Woodbridge Pacific Group as its first homebuilders. Each recognized for their industry experience and outstanding quality, these homebuilders will bring their passion and expertise to the Cotino community.

“We’re excited to work with talented homebuilders to help us bring Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community to life,” said Claire Bilby, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Signature Experiences Emerging Businesses. “Together with the developer, we’re creating a vibrant new neighborhood infused with the magic of Disney storytelling and I can’t wait for the community’s future residents to flourish in this very special place.”

The Cotino community’s first phase of development includes plans for more than 300 homes and a collection of neighborhood parks. Approximately one-third of those homes will be in Longtable Park, an area specifically designated for 55+ homebuyers, with the rest open to residents of all ages.

Homebuyers will have three different single-family home collections to choose from: Cottage Collection homes will be built on sites approximately 50 feet wide; Grand Collection homes will be built on sites approximately 60 or 70 feet wide; and Estate Collection homes will be built on sites approximately 90 feet wide and larger. Within each home collection, a variety of floorplans will be available allowing homebuyers to select a style best suited to their needs. Entry courtyards and covered terraces will encourage flexible, indoor-outdoor living and immerse residents in the beauty of the region. Future residents can also personalize their home by working with their selected homebuilder to choose from the latest finishes and fixtures.

After selecting a home site and floorplan, homebuyers will be able to choose from a variety of elevations within distinct design collections that represent the rich history and landscape of the greater Palm Springs area. From options reflecting the beauty and agricultural origins of the Coachella Valley and nods to the region’s mid-century modern legacy to more contemporary styles, each homebuilder will construct specific floorplans and elevations within each design collection. Using the boundless beauty of California’s Coachella Valley for inspiration, Cotino community developer DMB Development worked alongside award-winning architects with insight from Walt Disney Imagineering to create the design collections.

The initial sales launch will include a very limited inventory from Shea Homes in the Cottage and Grand Collections along with some homes in the Longtable Park residences for 55+ adults. Additional home sites and builders will be introduced in phases through a thoughtful development approach as the community expands. Future phases plan to include additional single-family home sites and condominiums.
