Santa Clarita, California

Valencia

Tucked away in the hills, just outside of the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, is Valencia, a masterplan residential community centered around outdoor spaces and communal living. Sunset views, parks, and paseos, and world-class schools, all define the Valencia experience. RSM Design partnered with FivePoint Communities to craft placemaking and wayfinding for the residential community in Santa Clarita.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Valencia is located within Santa Clarita, most famously known for Six Flags Magic Mountain, an amusement park outside of Los Angeles. The land that Valencia sits on dates back to 1875, when it was purchased and better known as “Newhall Ranch.” In 1912, the land was leveled and 5,000 citrus trees were planted amongst the ranch, giving Valencia oranges its namesake.

CONFLUENCE PARK AT VALENCIA

RSM Design joined the FivePoint team to create wayfinding signage and placemaking throughout Confluence Park, Valencia’s first community park. RSM Design also completed wayfinding for Eastlink, a greenway for walkers and bikers within Confluence Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.

VALENCIA SHARESTREAM

RSM Design collaborated with FivePoint on a second airstream, also known as the “Sharestream.” (You can see the first sharestream for Great Park Neighborhoods in Irvine, California here at this link. The design team customized a graphic wrap for the Valencia Sharestream. FivePoint uses the Sharestream as a mobile marketing tool, traveling from place to place, putting on events for the community and passing out leasing brochures.

RSM Design was asked to create temporary signage for the entrance points surrounding Valencia. Temporary signage builds excitement and anticipation, as well as sets the tone for what’s to come.
