Several of Ontario’s Civic Center Campus Expansion projects have 2025 completion dates, the city announced.
The expansion is part of the broader Ontario Plan to revitalize the downtown area with a modernized Civic Center Campus that aims to enhance facilities for public employees, draw more people to downtown and optimize available space.
The projects include the construction of a City Services Building, a Civic Center Parking Structure and a new Fire Station 1, officials said. The expansion also is expected to include the public-private partnerships with the University of La Verne College of Health and Community Well-Being and a space for a new the Ontario-Montclair School District Headquarters.
“Situated at the City’s core, the Civic Center is crucial in Ontario’s downtown revitalization, encompassing high-density housing, dining, retail, services, public spaces, offices, and civic facilities,” according to a city statement. “Through joint expansion efforts and collaborations, Ontario is committed to driving economic growth, promoting innovation, and fostering community development downtown.”
The expansion also includes the C-Block Mixed Use Project, located on Euclid Avenue between D and C streets. The project broke ground in October 2022 and is under construction, officials said. It will include about 150 residential apartment units and 4,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
The building design calls for an L-shaped, four-story structure design with one- and two-bedroom apartments, according to the city. The building will be organized around three green courtyards and an outdoor recreation area that will have pedestrian access to the ground-level businesses in units on Euclid Avenue.
Developers are a partnership of Ontario-based Kendrew Development and Hutton Companies, based in Orange, according to the Downtown Ontario Improvement Association. The estimated total development construction cost is $30 million.
Completion is expected by December 2025.
