No floor-plan prices in this check yet.
Independent of listing copy
Newer than most IBC neighbors and positioned above standard garden-style apartments, but lacks the resident review depth of established communities. Skyloft is a comparable newer option worth pricing against.

Nestmate abstract
Newer loft-style homes in Irvine Business Complex
Metropolis opened in 2020 at Main Street and Cartwright with studio-to-three-bed floor plans, including mezzanine and loft layouts. It sits in the IBC village but operates as a standalone community, not under The Irvine Company's village management.
Best for
