Menifee officials and two Newport Beach firms recently dug the first shovels into what will become Legado, a master-planned community with 1,000 new homes.
IHP Capital Partners and Newport Pacific Land traveled to the Inland Empire to break ground on the 330-acre community, which will also include the usual amenities such as a pool and rec center and a 13-acre public park with a community center and sports fields.
A mixed-use commercial center near the I-215 freeway will feature 20 acres of shopping and businesses.
“Legado’s official groundbreaking event marks an exciting new chapter in Menifee’s advancement as one of the fastest growing cities in California,” said Eric Koff, senior vice president of IHP Capital Partners.
Construction of Legado is expected to be completed by the summer of 2026. Residential home sales are expected to begin in the spring of 2024.

The former Walmart space at the Perris Spectrum retail center has been sliced into smaller chunks, making room for Fitness 19 (leasing 20,000 square feet), Harbor Freight Tools (15,633 square feet) and WSS Footwear (12,500 square feet). Two spaces remain available measuring 37,000 square feet and 20,000 square feet, according to Progressive Real Estate Partners, which is handling the leases.
Walmart exited the retail center in 2015, leaving a big retail hole at the center.
Perris Spectrum, anchored by Cardenas and Dollar Tree, also got a KFC, Little Caesars and Altura Credit Union.
Paul Galmarini at Progressive represented the landlord in the signing of all six leases.
Address: 2560 Perris Blvd.
