Orange Approves 71-Home Redevelopment at Former Best Buy

The former Best Buy on Tustin Street has sat vacant for years, but that could soon change. The City of Orange has approved plans for Melia Homes to redevelop the 4.23-acre commercial property into a new residential community, continuing a trend we’re seeing across Orange County as underused commercial sites are repurposed for housing.

✨Highlights/facts:

•By Melia Homes

• 71 new small-lot homes (58 paired (duplex-style) homes & 13 detached single-family homes)

• Three-story homes with two car garages

• 3- and 4-bedroom floor plans

• ~2,008–2,425 sq. ft.

• 2375 N. Tustin Street, Orange, CA

• Former Best Buy site on a 4.23-acre property

• Northeast corner of Tustin Street and Meats Avenue

• Shared open-space recreation area

• Guest parking

• New landscaping and site improvements

• General Plan changed from Commercial to Medium-Density Residential

• Zoning changed to allow residential development

📆Latest Update

The Orange City Council has approved the project’s major land-use entitlements. Before demolition and construction can begin, the development must still complete the final mapping, engineering, and permitting process.

Bottom Line

The project has been approved for 71 new homes, but it must still complete final mapping, engineering, and permitting before construction begins. It’s also part of a growing trend of converting underused commercial properties into housing.
