A builder focused on design, detail, and place
Woodbridge Pacific Group was established in 2011 by Todd Cunningham and Carl Neuss. Their experience in housing and development predates the company itself. WPG’s published history identifies Palm Springs projects such as Flair at Miralon, Skye, and QUE at Vibe as part of its expansion in the desert. Read WPG’s company background.
One useful way to understand its local role is to separate the homebuilder from the broader community. A builder shapes the house: architecture, room relationships, finishes, and the way indoor spaces open to the outdoors. The master plan and its governing organizations shape a different set of decisions, including shared facilities, neighborhood rules, and future development.
WPG’s Coachella Valley portfolio is interesting because the same company has worked across several of those settings. A Palm Springs design buyer, a seasonal PGA WEST owner, and someone comparing Cotino homes may encounter WPG for very different reasons.
Palm Springs: desert modernism and Miralon
Palm Springs buyers often care about more than square footage. Lines, light, mountain views, privacy, and the relationship between the house and the patio are central to the city’s residential character. WPG’s work at Skye, QUE at Vibe, Flair at Miralon, and Solace at Miralon fits that architectural conversation.
Miralon adds another layer. The City of Palm Springs describes a roughly 309-acre master plan with homes, an amenity center, trails, dog parks, community gardens, and landscaping that includes orchards. Those are elements of the broader development, rather than facilities belonging exclusively to one builder’s neighborhood. See the city’s Miralon project description.
Solace carries forward that setting with mid-century-inspired architecture, large areas of glass, and connected indoor and outdoor living. WPG’s regional directory currently lists approximately 2,421–3,165 square feet, with three to four bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 baths. Its neighborhood page describes included pools, while selected layouts provide additional guest space. The exact plan and included features should be checked for the home under consideration. Explore WPG’s Solace designs.
The appeal is the combination: a contemporary house with a recognizable Palm Springs identity, set within a community that offers shared recreation and outdoor space. During a tour, pay attention to how the windows and patio actually work for privacy and the time of day you expect to use them.
La Quinta: resort living at PGA WEST
La Quinta’s housing story has long been connected to golf, seasonal ownership, and resort-style privacy. WPG’s work at PGA WEST belongs to that tradition, with home designs that serve different ways of using a desert property.
The portfolio includes Monterra PGA WEST and the Signature PGA WEST neighborhoods Citrine, Topaz, and Jewel. WPG’s historical coverage describes Citrine and Topaz as sold out and Jewel approaching sellout by 2023. That history helps explain its contribution to the area; it should not be read as a list of new homes available from the builder today. Read WPG’s historical PGA WEST overview.
The broader contribution was variety within a familiar resort setting. Different footprints, attached and detached configurations, and differing maintenance needs allow buyers to compare how much home they want to manage and how often they expect to be here.
For a PGA WEST buyer: evaluate the exact neighborhood and property. A PGA WEST location does not, by itself, explain the home’s HOA coverage or which golf and club privileges accompany ownership. Ask for the applicable documents and membership details.
Palm Desert: University Park and everyday desert living
University Park in Palm Desert shows a more practical side of WPG’s local work. Its Nova, Esprit, and Verve neighborhoods connect the company’s design focus to homes intended for everyday routines as well as seasonal use.
The distinction is floor-plan flexibility. Nova’s current offerings include an ADU configuration, along with selected casita and multigenerational layouts. An additional room reached through the house serves a different purpose from space with its own entry, and an ADU is not interchangeable with every guest suite. Compare the actual plan, stairs, entrances, and included facilities. See Nova’s current layouts.
Those choices can be useful for visiting relatives, a dedicated office, or household members who want more separation. For the buyer, the value depends on how that space will be used. If rental use is part of the plan, confirm the property’s approvals and the rules that apply before assigning it an income value.
University Park broadens WPG’s desert story beyond the Palm Springs architecture buyer and the La Quinta golf buyer. It gives the company a presence in a Palm Desert setting where usable space and daily convenience are major parts of the decision.

Rancho Mirage: Cotino and branded desert living
Cotino in Rancho Mirage represents another chapter: a home within a larger community organized around a distinctive brand and resident experience. Woodbridge Pacific Group builds homes in the Estate Collection. Its regional directory lists a range of approximately 3,516–4,485 square feet. See WPG’s role on Cotino’s official website.
The roles are separate. Cotino is a Storyliving by Disney community with DMB Development as master developer; WPG is one of its participating homebuilders. DMB describes a 618-acre master plan with 1,932 planned residential units and a 24-acre grand oasis. These are community-scale figures, not the number of homes WPG is building. View DMB’s Cotino overview.
WPG’s Westwind II received a 2025 Gold Nugget Award of Merit for a detached home design over 4,000 square feet. That provides a concrete example of the design recognition associated with its Cotino work. It is a design award, rather than a measure of future resale performance. See WPG’s award history.

For a buyer, studying the house is only one part of studying Cotino. The position of the lot, nearby construction, the delivery schedule, and the amenities available at the time of ownership all matter. The Artisan Club is voluntary, so its membership should be evaluated separately from the home purchase and HOA obligations.

The bigger pattern in WPG’s desert portfolio
My reading of these projects is that they show a wider definition of desert living. Golf and seasonal ownership remain part of the story, but WPG’s portfolio also includes architectural identity, shared outdoor spaces, flexible guest accommodations, and the experience associated with a larger branded community.
Each city expresses that differently. Palm Springs places a strong emphasis on design. La Quinta supplies a resort and golf context. University Park adds adaptable layouts in Palm Desert. Cotino puts the home within an evolving community vision in Rancho Mirage.
The common thread is the relationship between the house and the life around it. A floor plan can look appealing online, but its usefulness becomes clearer when you understand the neighborhood, the outdoor setting, and the ownership obligations.
What buyers should compare
WPG’s name is a starting point for research. The most useful comparison is between the specific homes and communities that fit how you want to live.
- Home configuration: compare bedrooms, stairs, guest entrances, garages, and outdoor space using the actual floor plan.
- Included features: distinguish what you see in a model from what is included with a particular home.
- Ownership costs and access: review the HOA documents, maintenance responsibilities, and any separate club terms.
- New construction or resale: compare the home’s condition and timing alongside the builder’s current releases and the local resale choices.
- Location and daily use: tour with your own routine in mind, including errands, recreation, visitors, and the times you will use the patio.
WPG matters locally because its neighborhoods provide several ways to own a modern desert home. Understanding the differences between those settings makes the builder’s portfolio much more useful than a simple list of community names.
Frequently asked questions
Where has Woodbridge Pacific Group built in the Coachella Valley?
Its local portfolio includes projects in Palm Springs, La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Rancho Mirage. Examples include Skye, QUE at Vibe, Flair and Solace at Miralon, Monterra and Signature PGA WEST, University Park, and Estate Collection homes at Cotino.
Is Woodbridge Pacific Group the developer of Cotino?
WPG is a participating homebuilder within Cotino. DMB Development is the master developer of the larger Storyliving by Disney community. WPG’s Estate Collection homes are one part of that broader plan.
Are all of WPG’s local neighborhoods still selling new homes?
No. The company’s current marketing and its historical portfolio are different. Its regional directory includes Solace, Nova at University Park, and Cotino, while earlier communities also appear in its history. Confirm availability for the exact neighborhood and home; a retained webpage is not proof of unsold inventory.
Do WPG homes at University Park offer ADU or casita options?
Selected Nova layouts include ADU, casita, or multigenerational configurations. These features vary by plan and home. Review the actual layout and included facilities, and verify approvals and applicable rules if you intend to rent any part of the property.
Which WPG community should I consider for full-time living?
Start with your daily routine and the specific floor plan. University Park is worth comparing if flexible living space and a Palm Desert location are priorities. Palm Springs, PGA WEST, and Cotino can also work for full-time ownership; compare their locations, home designs, amenities, and costs against your needs.
