Orange County food lovers have something big to look forward to. Anaheim’s $4 billion OCVIBE redevelopment is about to introduce Katella Commons, a massive food destination with 21 chef-led kitchens, six bars and lounges, and plenty of options for dining and nightlife.
The giant food hall, set to open in early 2027, will be one of the crown jewels of the sweeping 100-acre transformation surrounding the Honda Center, where developers are building an entertainment district designed to completely reinvent the area.

Next year’s rollout is also expected to include the district’s new 5,000-seat concert hall and the expansive Urban Park, which will feature 3 miles of walking trails and an outdoor public art gallery.
Once fully completed in 2033, the mega-development is projected to include more than 20 acres of open space, over 2,000 residences, two hotels, and upwards of 35 distinct dining destinations — transforming Anaheim’s arena district into one of Southern California’s largest entertainment and lifestyle hubs.
