Is Disney Cotino Failing? Here's What You NEED TO KNOW...

[@judyhorn8586]

Hi Tommy, Judy here past president of California Desert Association of Realtors. You have done a terrific job of providing information to those interested in the community. Keep up the good work and good luck in selling within this unique community.

[@TommyJordanRE]

Judy, thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Thank you for your hard work for us realtors! 😃

Sounds interesting, but how did they approve a 24 acre “bay” in the desert? If water is scarce, and the bay will have to be refilled , I don’t get it.

[@TommyJordanRE]

Hey Richard, the Bay uses 30 times less water then a golf course and evaporates at a rate that is significantly less than a swimming pool. This bay is a lot more eco-friendly than any of the neighboring golf courses. Check out the company Crystal Lagoons it’s incredible technology.

[@victoriaglass7584]

Good question. In nearby La Quinta, a water park was vetoed by the city. Could enough money and the Disney brand be why this plan was approved? They originally said home prices would start at $2 million. Probably going to be more than that. I can’t fathom what the HOA fees will be. They are still working on their exterior landscaping and the utilities. It’s been a real inconvenience, by shutting down traffic lanes around it. Best thing, the development is probably going to cut down on all the blowing sand. Like the rest of the valley, these units will be available for rent from June thru October, when all the rich people leave because of the crazy hot weather.

@@TommyJordanRE I checked the website. It’s very interesting. I think they used this same technology for a community with a huge lagoon just north of Tampa, Florida. Thanks.

[@surblows]

@@TommyJordanRE Thanks for bringing up Crystal Lagoons. I've been following the company for a long time, and the technology is awesome! The project was planned around Crystal Lagoons long before - Disney happened to win later.

@@TommyJordanRE The desert is built on massive aquafers! They're not running out of water for a very long time to come.

[@sunblock8717]

Thank you for making this video! I didn't realize how far along they were on this project.

[@jordansmith534]

Disney's other development in Fla. Celebration, is amazing. I would want to see this more completed before I decide if it is for me. I do like that lagoon.

[@romcallis]

I’m sure Disney did a lot of research and focus groups. It’s not going to fail

[@TommyJordanRE]

I agree ☝️ 💯

[@gerthenriksen8818]

Looks absolutely great, thanks, will be visiting next Summer. 600 acres makes one think. The "small" Disneyland Resort in Anaheim at about 500 acres is not so small after all looking at these 600 acres. Looking forward to more updates from you here on KZbin.

[@TommyJordanRE]

Wow that’s interesting, I didn’t know that’s how big Disneyland resort is. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it!

Traffic will be a nightmare when all said and done.

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

I have no idea why anything in Palm Springs costs over $1 million. Unless you’re up Rams Hill I would never spend over a million there

[@TommyJordanRE]

$1M is the average price for most homes in Palm Springs. Supply and demand. People view this area as highly desirable to live and vacation.

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

@@TommyJordanRE to each their own, I would prefer an island and water

[@pcmpcm1759]

Thanks Tommy for the update!

[@TommyJordanRE]

You’re welcome and thank you for watching!

[@mipe961]

How much will the HOA be? The homes are rather pricey already, if they slap a $1500-$2000 HOA to that, that's gonna be really expensive.

[@TommyJordanRE]

Hey the HOA is around $600 per month but then there is the artisan club membership which makes the numbers closer to the figures you are mentioning. While that is a high figure that is the norm for high end communities in Rancho Mirage.

[@PalmBeachDog]

Price is not an issue for Disney followers.

[@chaudock]

Thank you, Tommy, Great updates

[@TommyJordanRE]

You’re very welcome!! Hope you and the family are well. 😃

[@familylively]

What about wind? Is it windy there?

[@TommyJordanRE]

It will be more windy the communities closer to Highway 111 and up against the mountains. It’s not as bad as some of the communities like Del Webb that are by Dinah Shore. The area is in between both of those spots.

[@krick7247]

It’s windy in the desert in general, but not always daily. We do have windier times of the year. 😉

[@nellamarink6350]

So MANY people have so much money. It is just always kind of astonishing.

[@TommyJordanRE]

I know it’s pretty crazy!

[@PalmBeachDog]

Where’s the monorail?

[@TommyJordanRE]

Haha 🤣 that would be cool.

[@wildcat64100]

Is that real grass in Long Table Park? Wtf?

[@TommyJordanRE]

lol yes! Disney has that real grass.

[@justimagine2403]

Where are the rides? Why not build a Theme park - proven track record. EPCOT 2.0 or 3.0 is a big question mark.

[@TommyJordanRE]

They wanted to try something different? Disney must see a lot of opportunity in this or they wouldn’t be doing it. Thank you for watching!

[@surblows]

It is unlikely that you could build a theme park in this area. The Coachella Valley cities are all very careful about tall structures that block views and become an eyesore. This is primarily a housing development built around a Crystal Lagoon that Disney happened to win. The Disney frills are interesting, but make no mistake that this is a residential community.
