ANAHEIM
Goals, an Anaheim nonprofit started by Walt Disney Co. in 1994, is building a sports facility at its headquarters near the Riverside (91) Freeway and Harbor Boulevard. Plans call for tennis courts, an outdoor arena and an indoor gym. Construction and other services are being donated for the project, which is estimated at $300,000 to $400,000. The sports center is being built for needy Anaheim kids as a place for after school sports. It’s expected to be done in late spring. The project is being built on a 25,000-square-foot lot next to Goals’ headquarters that was donated last year by the city of Anaheim. The Newport Beach office of St. Louis-based McCarthy Building Cos. is the general contractor and is providing its services for free. Anaheim Councilman Tom Tait provided design and engineering services through his Santa Ana-based Tait & Associates Inc.
A fire station near Angel Stadium of Anaheim is in the planning stages. The station is planned near Anaheim Way and Gene Autry Way and is under public review. The station is being funded by developers in the Platinum Triangle, the area around the stadium that’s home to new apartments and plans for condominiums and stores. The station is set to house 12 firefighters, one engine and one fire truck. Two more Anaheim Fire Department stations are planned for the area, which has seen a stall in development amid the downturn. Newport Beach-based Robert Borders & Associates Inc. is the architect for the station. A contractor hasn’t been selected.

Construction has wrapped on a CVS/Pharmacy drugstore at Goldenwest Street and McFadden Avenue. The store was relocated from another site on Edinger Avenue. The new site had been a vacant lot used for a pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot. The site, which is owned by the Coast Community College District, was leased for the store in 2008. The 66,000-square-foot lot now holds a 13,000-square-foot store with a double drive-through and 65 parking spaces. Escondido-based Simac Construction Inc. was the contractor. Phoenix-based Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. was the architect. The cost wasn’t disclosed.
