Rancho Los Amigos, situated in Downey, encompasses 62 acres of land with a rich history deeply rooted in the medical industry. Originally established as “The County Poor Farm,” its primary aim was to offer medical care and housing for the impoverished. Over time, the property underwent various transitions within the medical sector, eventually serving as a campus for rehabilitation and psychiatric services. However, with the advent of advanced medical facilities established by private corporations, Rancho Los Amigos fell into disuse. Many buildings have since been demolished, while some of the century-old structures have been recognized as historic landmarks.

TCA was entrusted with the task of repurposing the land, with a focus on incorporating residential and sports/physical fitness elements. Along the main boulevard adjacent to the project site, plans include the construction of a basketball arena intended to host an NBA G League team and other events. Additionally, a sports facility and soccer field will be developed around a central town center, leading to a connecting ribbon park. Approximately 1400 units of rental residential properties will also be integrated into the plan. Pocket parks will enhance the pedestrian experience along designated streets, which will further link to a future train station located on the southwestern corner of the site. Through thoughtful design considerations, the project aims to achieve a cohesive layout that seamlessly incorporates the historic structures into the overall vision.
