Last week , PCMA SWP had the incredible opportunity to partner with OCVIBE for a private Hard Hats and Happy Hour experience! Attendees got to see firsthand the progress of phase one of collaborative project! This included a massive food hall destined to create a new culinary chapter called Katella Commons, a concert hall and an office building. Locals will be excited to hear that there is not only tons of parking, but parking will be FREE!
After the hard hat tour our attendees enjoyed happy hour while getting a full briefing of what’s to come! OCVIBE is being built with intention and imagination, and is set to create a downtown where all feel welcome, can make connections and create unforgettable experiences both individually , for groups and of course for business events as well.

A few fun facts, OCVIBE will have:
* 500+ new, green hotel rooms
* 25,000 seats for entertainment
* 35+ Restaurant offerings
* 20 Acres of Parks & Plazas
* Innovative office space totaling over 168,000 square feet
And so much more!

Thank you OCVIBE for hosting this special event and giving our local PCMA Southwest & Pacific Chapter this insiders view to the project’s progress and what’s to come!
