Centennial, California
Centennial, California, is a proposed 11,700-acre (47 km2) master-planned community on Tejon Ranch, in Los Angeles County between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. [1]
It is sited in the far western Antelope Valley and the foothills of the Sierra Pelona Mountains and Tehachapi Mountains. [2] It is planned to be along California State Route 138 east of Interstate 5, and northeast of Quail Lake.[1]
The community is planned to be built over 25 to 30 years, with approximately one-half of the 11,700-acre area designated as open space.[3] Susan Tae, a Los Angeles County regional planner, said that the number of houses planned will be "something closer to 17,000," designed for 70,000 people. The developers have said they plan to "develop local jobs nearly equal to the number of anticipated adult residents."[1]
Centennial on Tejon Ranch property, and has partnership with Tejon Ranch Company and three community developers, Lewis Operating Company, Pardee Homes and Standard Pacific Homes.[3]
