The company announced Thursday that it plans to build residential communities all around the U.S. that will “cater to those looking to write [the] next chapter of their lives with Disney.” The project will be known as “Storyliving,” a nod to the brand’s dedication to — and expansion on — storytelling.
Each community will have also some neighborhoods that cater specifically to residents age 55 and up, Travel + Leisure Points out, making them an ideal retirement spot for lifelong members of the House of Mouse.
The first community, called Cotino, will be located in Rancho Mirage in California’s Coachella Valley, a place that holds special significance as Walt Disney himself owned a home there, the company shared in a press release.
“For nearly 100 years, Disney has shared stories that have touched the hearts and minds of people all around the world,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said in a statement. “As we prepare to enter our second century, we are developing new and exciting ways to bring the magic of Disney to people wherever they are, expanding storytelling to storyliving.
“We can’t wait to welcome residents to these beautiful and unique Disney communities where they can live their lives to the fullest,” he added.
