Developers seeking to build a 15.23-acre mixed-use development with 1,057 apartments on an industrial area in Costa Mesa north of the 405 Freeway hosted a block party Friday days before the project will be heard by the City Council.
Held at the commercial SOCO and the OC Mix, adjacent to the proposed project location at 1683 Sunflower Ave., the rally was intended to drum up excitement and support in advance of a public hearing Tuesday.
