For the past 30+ years, Burnham-Ward Properties (“BWP”) has been a leader in Southern California commercial real estate. At BWP, we believe that properties provide a canvas for people to interact, work and experience life. Our goal is to create community through property, to positively influence people’s lives, add long-term value, and to do so in an environmentally conscious manner.

Notable developments include Long Beach Exchange & The Hangar (LBX), SOCO & The OC Mix, Paseo 17, Dana Point Harbor, and Laguna Niguel City Center – coming soon.

Built in the 1970s, the property has accumulated substantial deferred maintenance and has become functionally obsolete. Professional architects, engineers, and consultants have concluded that most of the buildings and site work are unfortunately unsalvageable. Substantial upgrades to the utility infrastructure are also required to meet current tenant and code requirements.

The project includes approximately 60,000 sq ft of reimagined commercial retail space and the addition of 100 for-sale townhome residences to be built along Vandenberg Lane between Yorba Street and Enderle Center Drive.

BWP’s plan will preserve retail as the primary and dominant use for the project. Retail will continue to front 17th Street complemented by a new town green, heavily landscaped areas, paseos, water features, soft seating areas and fire pits for year-round community enjoyment.  

Enderle Center has long been known as a favorite gathering place for the Tustin community, and this plan contemplates not only preserving local holiday traditions, but also expanding event programming for generations to come.

Burnham-Ward Properties’ intention is to commence construction before the end of the year. Construction is anticipated to follow a 12-month schedule with a goal completion in late 2027.

A closing date for the acquisition of Enderle Center is expected to be announced soon.

A pre-construction closing date for existing retail tenants has not yet been determined.

The revitalized center will offer a diverse mix of personal services, fashion, retail, and restaurants featuring a variety of cuisines, all set upon beautifully landscaped common areas for public enjoyment and activations like farmers markets, live music and holiday celebrations.

Future tenant announcements are forthcoming, however, a new car wash and drive thru restaurants are contemplated in the new plan.

The former gas station site will be decommissioned and remediation will follow all local ordinances and the latest environmental compliance standards.

The new architectural style features modernized Spanish-Colonial design with combinations of wood siding and smooth plaster, terracotta tile roofs, and steel glass windows, accented with natural wood trellises and canvas awnings.

A new town green as well as other communal seating areas, fire pits, and programable event spaces have been incorporated throughout.

Mature specimen trees will be hand-selected to provide for natural shading and a lived-in, well-established feel.

The proposed plan meets all current code requirements for parking and will feature modifications to improve overall access and circulation for retail guests.

The plan also creates distinct separation between residential and retail parking areas.  Customer parking and residential parking will each be maintained separately and monitored closely. 

All townhomes will include a private 2-car garage with an additional 37 guest parking stalls within the enclosed residential project area.
