Situated at the base of the San Bernadino Mountains, Ontario is located
in the midst of Southern California's most accessible highways
in the Inland Empire at the junction of the 10 (San Bernadino), 15 (Ontario)
and 60 (Pomona) Freeways. The city is positioned amid some of Southern California's
most crucial transportation throughfares in road, rail and air travel, and
is home to LA-Ontario International Airport, making Ontario a true transportation
hub in Southern California. With employment and payroll nearly
doubling in the past ten years, Ontario is suited for some of the most exciting
developments in the Inland Empire pipeline, including Guasti, a 50 acre
mixed-use development located directly between Interstate 10 and the Ontario
International Airport.
Guasti, founded in 1904, was once a self-sufficient
community complete with a company store, bakery, fire station,
hotel, post office and the world's largest contiguous vineyard, encompassing
over 5000 acres. Home to the Guasti Mansion and adjacent to the San Secondo
d'Asti Catholic Church, Guasti is positioned to be a unique, planned community
blending a proud history and an opportunistic future. Guasti will
offer almost 400,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment,
600,000 square feet of office, 400 residential units and 2 hotels. 175,000
square feet of existing historical stone winery buildings will be integrated
into this rustic Inland Empire oasis, maintaining the Tuscan Charm and elegance
with which the Guasti turn-of-the-century town was originally founded.
