A Major 281-Unit Buena Park Housing Development Just Got the Green Light in Koreatown
If you’ve been watching the rapid transformation of Orange County’s premier K-town, hold onto your hats: a massive Buena Park housing development is officially moving forward. The Buena Park City Council has approved ambitious plans by Shopoff Realty Investments to convert a nearly 14-acre industrial site at 5600 Beach Boulevard into a vibrant, multi-family residential hub boasting 281 new homes.
Out with the Industrial, In with Modern Living
The project site—currently occupied by Amway Nutrilite’s 370,000-square-foot facility—will undergo a total makeover once Amway wraps up its operations at the end of the year. In its place, the new Buena Park housing development will feature:
-
231 Market-Rate Units: A sleek blend of modern three-story townhomes and duplexes tailored for first-time buyers and growing families.
-
50 Affordable Senior Units: Dedicated housing designed to support the region’s expanding senior population.
-
Resort-Style Amenities: Renderings by architecture firm KTGY reveal plans for a community pool, lush recreational spaces, and shared resident clubhouses.
Prime Location in the Heart of Orange County’s Koreatown
Location is everything, and this project sits right in the bullseye. Positioned along the bustling Beach Boulevard corridor (between Rosecrans and Orangethorpe Avenues), residents will be steps away from top-tier Asian supermarkets like H Mart, Hannam Chain, and Zion Market, alongside endless authentic Korean dining options and financial hubs. Plus, quick proximity to the Buena Park Metrolink station makes it an absolute dream for commuters.
“This development is about creating diverse housing choices for both first-time homebuyers and our growing senior population,” said Bill Shopoff, CEO of Shopoff Realty Investments. “By converting an underutilized industrial asset into residential space, we are directly addressing the community’s evolving housing needs.”
With demolition scheduled following Amway’s departure, this high-profile project marks one of the most significant urban upgrades in Buena Park this decade.
