A New Chapter for Irvine
Set on three acres across from The District at Tustin Legacy, The James will bring a new standard of hospitality-rich senior living to Irvine.
- 350 residences, including 210 independent living, 110 assisted living, and 30 memory care residences.
- Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, averaging approximately 837 square feet.
- Three levels of support on one campus, offering greater continuity, familiarity, and peace of mind as residents' needs evolve.
By bringing independent living, assisted living, and memory care together in one thoughtfully planned community, The James will allow residents to remain close to familiar people, places, and routines if their needs change.
The James is owned by the not-for-profit P3 Foundation, developed by Harbert South Bay Partners, and will be managed by Momentum Senior Living, whose corporate office is located just two miles away. Once open, the community is expected to create more than 200 full-time jobs in Irvine.
