A Curated Collection of Experiences
- The newly announced tenants are set to create a vibrant destination for both Cotino residents and visitors from the greater Coachella Valley.
- Elevare: This brand-new, 8,000-square-foot waterfront restaurant created by Oak View Group and designed by Ignisio Studios will feature refined American cuisine inspired by California’s food scene. With a lively dining room and an expansive terrace overlooking Cotino Bay, it’s poised to become a go-to spot for everything from daily lunch and dinner to special weekend brunches. Elevare will be open for lunch and dinner daily and will offer brunch at weekends.
- Artigiano: A Canadian coffee institution for over 26 years, Artigiano is making its U.S. debut at Cotino. The 3,000-square-foot space will bring its award-winning 100% Arabica blends and warm, European-inspired café atmosphere to the desert.
- On the Mark Fine Foods & Provisions: A beloved Palm Springs specialty market, On the Mark is opening its second location. The 3,700-square-foot shop will offer a curated selection of artisan goods, premium meats, made-to-order sandwiches, wines, and craft beers.
- Khaga Yoga: This 2,000-square-foot yoga sanctuary will offer a diverse range of classes for all levels. The new location will feature two studios, a retail boutique, and classes designed for kids and families.
About Storyliving by Disney
- First announced in 2022, Storyliving by Disney is a new business venture aimed at developing master-planned residential communities infused with the company's legendary attention to detail, placemaking, and guest service.
- The concept is born from decades of Disney Imagineering expertise in creating immersive environments like theme parks and resorts, now applied to the places people call home.
- The heart of each community is a voluntary club membership, which offers residents access to curated experiences, including wellness programming, entertainment, and Disney-themed events. At Cotino, this is the Artisan Club.
- The location of the first community, Cotino, in Rancho Mirage, is a nod to Walt and Lillian Disney, who often sought inspiration and relaxation in the Coachella Valley.
- While Cotino is the first, it won't be the last. Disney has already announced a second Storyliving community, Asteria, which will be located near Raleigh, North Carolina.
- It's important to note that while Disney provides the brand vision and manages the communities, the homes are built and sold by third-party homebuilders.
- Just recently, Disney revealed the first interior photographs of the Parr House
