AO is pleased to see momentum continue at Dana Point Harbor, where two new waterfront hotels are expected to break ground as part of the harbor’s ongoing revitalization. As Architect of Record, AO has been working alongside R.D. Olson Development to help bring this transformative hospitality project to life.

The development represents a significant investment in one of Southern California’s most iconic coastal destinations, enhancing the visitor experience while supporting the long-term vision for Dana Point Harbor.

Beyond Southern California, it is exciting to see R.D. Olson continue advancing hospitality destinations across the West, including the planned Sedona Resort & Spa in Sedona, Arizona. The proposed 70-room luxury resort is expected to become part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection and marks another significant milestone in the developer’s growing portfolio of destination hospitality projects.

Momentum continues for housing accessibility in San Mateo County. The City of Belmont has approved additional funding for The Ridge on Masonic located at 951 Old County Road, helping advance a transformative residential community just steps from the Belmont Caltrain Station.

Designed by AO in collaboration with CRP Affordable Housing and Community Development and Jett Landscape Architecture, the eight-story mixed-use project will deliver 63 homes alongside ground-floor retail and community-focused amenities. The development reflects a continued investment in transit-oriented solutions that strengthen accessibility, connectivity, and long-term community growth.
