The start of construction has been officially marked by a ground-breaking on the first phase of the Garden Grove Civic Center Revitalization Project in Orange County, California, US. 

The City of Garden Grove, along with developer Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate, design-builder Clark Construction Group, and architect AC Martin celebrated the ground-breaking.  

In April, the city's council approved a project agreement with Edgemoor for the design and construction of the development.

The first phase encompasses the construction of a new public safety facility for the Garden Grove Police Department and an affiliated parking structure.  

This project, located at the intersection of Acacia Parkway and Euclid Street, will feature a 103,000ft² building and a four-level parking structure on a 2.75-acre site.  

It carries an estimated cost of $152m that includes contributions from Measure O, a 1% sales tax approved to support public safety services and facilities.  

Edgemoor managing director Brian Dugan said: “I would like to commend Garden Grove for its innovative, progressive approach to this project. The design process has been one of the most collaborative I have seen.  

“The input we received from the police department and others in early design will help ensure the new public safety facility enables the police department to effectively protect and serve the Garden Grove community for decades to come.” 

Completion of the first phase of the Garden Grove Civic Center Revitalization Project is anticipated in March 2026.
