INTRODUCTION
Cotino is the most talked about and genuinely extraordinary new residential community in the history of the Coachella Valley. The first Storyliving by Disney community ever built, Cotino represents the Walt Disney Company's debut in master-planned residential living, bringing the company's legendary storytelling, Imagineering design philosophy, and commitment to creating magical experiences to a community of approximately 2,000 homes planned at completion in Rancho Mirage, California. The connection to Disney in this valley runs deep: Walt Disney himself owned a family vacation home in Rancho Mirage, and the Cotino site is adjacent to the legendary Sunnylands Estate, making this the most personally meaningful location imaginable for the brand's residential debut.
Cotino is being developed by the Walt Disney Company in partnership with DMB Development on a spectacular 618-acre site in Rancho Mirage. The centerpiece of the community is a 24-acre lagoon at Cotino Bay. Access to the lagoon, the beaches, and the Artisan Club requires separate membership, fees, and enrollment and is not included with home purchase. The Artisan Club is a voluntary membership with separate monthly and one-time costs beyond HOA dues.
The Artisan Club officially opened on October 24, 2025. The Cotino Bay Beach and Town Center is anticipated to open in fall 2026, subject to change. Homes have been delivering since spring 2025 with residents actively moving in throughout 2025 and 2026.
Cotino offers both multigenerational homes for all ages and a dedicated 55+ section named Longtable Park, making it one of the most diverse and inclusive new master-planned communities in the desert. Builders include Shea Homes, Woodbridge Pacific Group, and Davidson Communities.

HISTORY
The story of Cotino begins with Walt Disney himself, who owned a family vacation home in Rancho Mirage. When the Walt Disney Company announced in early 2022 that it was entering master-planned residential living with its Storyliving by Disney concept, Rancho Mirage was a deeply personal choice. Ground breaking took place in April 2022on a 618-acre site adjacent to the legendary Sunnylands Estate.
Walt Disney Imagineering Executive Creative Director Caroline Boone described the vision: "A creative oasis: a vibrant community where people can gather, create and share what they love, just like Walt did."
The community is being built with Shea Homes, Woodbridge Pacific Group, and Davidson Communities. Homes began delivering in spring 2025. The Artisan Club opened October 24, 2025. Cotino Bay and the Town Center are anticipated in fall 2026, subject to change.
One of the most extraordinary details at Cotino: the Parr House, inspired by the superhero family's mid-century modern home from Pixar's Incredibles 2, is being built by Davidson Communities as a real residence. Pixar artists visited the Coachella Valley while designing the original Parr family home, and now a home inspired by the film is being built in the same location.
