As the first Blue Whale sponsor, SunCal Companies makes a huge splash to kick off our 3rd Annual Miocean Blue42 Celebration fundraising efforts. �SunCal is proud to be a lead sponsor of the Blue42 Event again this year. Urban runoff is an important issue for Orange County and, in our view, Miocean is the organization that is leading the efforts to deal with this issue. It�s a great cause and a spectacular event!,� states Bruce Ellief.

SunCal Companies.  A Legacy of Fine Living.

Seven decades of commitment and experience have made SunCal Companies the largest privately owned developer of masterplanned and mixed-use communities in the West.

From the second homebuyers get their first set of keys, they know why families love living in SunCal communities. It’s just different here. Open spaces abound. Parks and schools are right around the corner, and tree-lined streets lead you home. It’s the kind of place where families put down roots and pride runs deep. It’s the true embodiment of community.

This commitment to community is what leads landowners and city officials to continually trust SunCal to plan and develop their most valued projects and significant land holdings. And it’s why families love to call our communities home. http://www.suncal.com/
