Dive Brief:

• A mixed-use project approved by the city council in Coachella, Calif., involves 2,200 acres, 7,800 homes and office and retail space.
• The developer, New West Communities of Las Vegas, Nev., expects La Entrada will put 30,000 new residents in the city, most of them in one of three planned "villages" within it.
• The plan is so big that New West is looking to have a new interchange constructed on Interstate 10, which runs north of the site.

Dive Insight:

The project also may include a sports venue with a soccer focus, though that is not definite. New West figures La Entrada to be a billion-dollar effort. The company did a development called PGA West in La Quinta, Calif.
