The Museum House project is located in Newport Beach's Newport Center/Fashion Island area and the address is 850 San Clemente Drive. The developer, Related California Urban Housing, LLC. (Related), is proposing to construct a 26 story condominium tower consisting of 100 condominium residential units.
The proposed 26 story tower will stand 295 feet tall with another 20 feet for "...mechanical equipment and elevator overruns." (p. 9). This will make the total height of the tower 315 feet tall. According to the OC Register, the 520 Newport Center Drive tower from the Irvine Company is 315 feet tall. This tower is located within the Newport Center area and the proposed tower would be of equal height with the tallest tower in Newport Center area.

Out of the 100 total condominium units: 47 units would have 2 bed/2.5 baths and 53 units would have 3 bed/3.5 baths. With regard to parking, there would be a total of 238 vehicle parking spaces of which 200 are resident vehicle parking spaces and the other 38 are for visitors.

Project Phasing and Construction Schedule:
According to the Initial Study report for this proposed project, the project site has an existing building which currently is the OCMA building. The proposed project will required the demolition of the 23,000 square foot (Orange County Museum of Art) OCMA building along with the surface parking lot (27,380 square feet). The proposed demolition would take two months (January 2018 to February 2018).
According to LA Times, the OCMA have stated they plan to relocate to the City of Costa Mesa in the South Coast Metro area. More specifically, near Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
With regard to the construction of the tower project, this would be performed in one phase consisting of about 26 months (about 2.17 years). The proposed start of the construction is March 2018 and proposed completion date is May 2020.
Currently, no renderings exist, but the proposed building elevation plan provides a preview of what the building might look like.

Orange County has been seeing a revisit to proposals for high rise living. In addition to this new proposal, Cities of Costa Mesa and Anaheim are also looking at potential residential high rise construction: the Wyndham Boutique Hotel/High-Rise Residential Project (23 story, 266 feet tall) in Costa Mesa and LTG Platinum Center (would be tallest residential building and tallest building in Orange County; 348 feet tall) in Anaheim's Platinum Triangle district.
Office high rises are also making a comeback as the tallest building in Orange County 200 Spectrum Center tower near Irvine Spectrum is now leasing. Additionally, Irvine Company is also constructing the twin to the 200 Spectrum Center called 400 Spectrum Center.
