A Lifestyle You’ve Already Earned

The James is built for active older adults who’ve thoughtfully planned for their future and aren’t ready to stop living well. Here, you’ll find a community that reflects the lifestyle you’ve built, centered on quality, connection and meaningful experiences, with the confidence to keep thriving for years to come. This is retirement living reimagined, not recycled.

The James is an upscale urban oasis in the heart of Irvine, where exceptional amenities and a flexible rental lifestyle make every day feel designed just for you. It’s built for recharging, exploring and connecting, all on your own terms. Thriving happens every day here, not just in the moments you plan for.
