McCarthy Building Companies, TAYLOR and St. Joseph Health Systems Team to Donate Design/Build Services for Latino Health Access Community Center and Park in Santa Ana, CA


 SANTA ANA, CA – The design/build team of McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., (www.mccarthy.com), and TAYLOR, (www.TAA1.com ), are working in partnership with St. Joseph Health Systems, (www.stjhs.org), Latino Health Access (LHA), (www.LatinoHealthAccess.org ),  and various other project team members to donate services for a new community center and park in one of the poorest areas of California.

To be the only community center and park in the 92701 zip code, the project will be built on a half acre of land at 602 E. 4th Street and adjacent to one of the largest condominium complexes in Santa Ana. 

The landmark community park project will kick-off on November 5, 2010 during a public groundbreaking ceremony.

Jim Bostic, assistant vice president of construction for the St. Joseph Health System, has overseen the team of architects, engineers, and landscape designers who are donating their time to build the park and community center,” said Ana Carricchi, (top right photo) director of public policy for Latino Health Access.

 “Their donations have been worth several hundred thousand dollars to a project that, in all, will cost about $4 million to build and operate."

Part of the land where the LHA Community Center and Park is to be built was donated by Northgate Gonzalez Market. The remaining parcels are under a 40-year lease agreement, at $2 per year, with the City of Santa Ana. 

Project team members include: St. Joseph Health Systems, project oversight; TAYLOR, community center architect; McCarthy Building Companies, construction management; CDPC, project master planner and park design; TAIT, civil engineer, kpff, structural engineer; and SASCO, electrical.
