Fulfilling the vision of the Irvine Ranch master plan has been a lifetime dedication and lifetime passion, and I am hopeful the heritage of our Irvine stewardship will live on in many new ways.

It's not like I have a master plan or anything.

When I first joined the Irvine Company, I realized that less than 11,000 acres were designated as open space in the original master plan, and that just didn't seem adequate to me. So, I began the lengthy process working with public and community organizations to add more open space.

It is better to have your city's master plan in place first,even without structures,than to have the best structures without a master plan.

I just write what comes along. I don't have a detailed master plan.

Discomfort is very much part of my master plan.
