OC500 2025: BILL FOLTZ & DAN YOUNG

BILL FOLTZ
CEO
OCVIBE

DAN YOUNG
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DEVELOPMENT
OCVIBE

WHY: Top executives at $4B, 100-acre development dubbed OCVibe currently under
construction in Anaheim, designed to be a sustainable, mixed-use, live entertainment district anchored by Honda Center.
IN THE NEWS: First part of OCVibe, two parking garages, opened in fall. Concert hall and office building in the works for 2026 opening. Honda Center also undergoing $1.1B renovation. Developers aim to deliver the first phase in time for LA28 Olympics.
NOTABLE: Foltz was previously CFO for Anaheim Ducks, H&S Ventures, Platinum
Equity and Los Angeles Dodgers. Young, a former Irvine Co. exec, was part of the project’s
very beginning when the Samuelis started to acquire pieces of land surrounding the Honda
Center 10 years ago.
QUOTABLE: “No other business in America works 140 days a year and
survives,” Foltz said. “The idea was to capitalize on all the visitors who
were coming to the Honda Center,” Young added. “If we could get you
coming to the campus half a dozen times a year, we win.”
