The facility is open <br /> to the public seven days a week from 5.00 a.m. to midnight and contains approximately <br /> 35,000 square feet of rental space, including ten bus bays. <br /> The OC Streetcar is the first modern streetcar project to be built in Orange County. It <br /> will service Santa Ana's historic downtown which includes federal, state, and local <br /> courthouses, government offices, colleges, an artists' village, and a thriving restaurant <br /> scene. The OC Streetcar will operate along a 4.15-mile route that connects SARTC <br /> and a new transit hub at Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove. <br /> As the lead agency for the OC Streetcar Project, OCTA selected Walsh Construction as <br /> the Contractor for this project. In December 2018, Walsh Construction Company II, LLC <br /> approached the City to lease office space at the SARTC. The City Council proceeded to <br /> approve a three-year site lease agreement with Walsh Construction to lease Suite 200 <br /> at SARTC. With the OC Streetcar still underway, the City entered into a new lease <br /> agreement with Walsh Construction Company II, LLC in June 2022.
