Disney Previews Home Designs For New Cotino Community

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) has unveiled the home designs of Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney new-home community currently underway in Rancho Mirage, California.

The initial sales release includes what the company called “a very limited selection” of single-family homes from Shea Homes. Buyers of all ages will have access to several options, with a special area called Longtable Park dedicated to adults who are 55 and older.

Shea Homes will offer floorplans specifically designed for the Cotino community on 50- and 60-foot-wide home sites. On the 50-foot home sites, which is part of the community’s Cottage Collection, there are three different floorplans with one- and two-story models ranging from approximately 2,260 – 2,820 square feet. On the 60-foot home sites, which are part of the Grand Collection, there are four different floorplans with one- and two-story models ranging from approximately 2,780 to 3,730 square feet. Floorplans feature designs with flex and loft spaces while also encouraging indoor-outdoor living with entry courtyards and covered terraces.

The Cotino community’s first phase will eventually include 327 home sites as well as a collection of parks and landscaped walking paths. Interested buyers can find more information and request a pre-sales appointment at the Cotino website; appointments are available now through Jan. 9, 2024, prior to the start of home sales in early 2024, while the on-site Cotino sales studio is open for in-person meetings by appointment only.  

“Today marks an important next step toward fulfilling our vision for Storyliving by Disney as we bring our company’s legacy of placemaking, attention to detail, and guest service to life like never before,” said Claire Bilby, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Signature Experiences Emerging Businesses. “The Cotino community will celebrate everything Walt Disney loved about this valley – stunning landscape, rich history, friendly neighbors, and a rejuvenating spirit – all while adding extra touches of magic only Disney can deliver. We can’t wait for residents to experience this special place where they will be inspired to live their very best lives.”
