New building permits have been submitted seeking the approval of a senior living project proposed at 850 Seven Hills Ranch Road in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County. The project proposal includes the development of a new large-scale residential complex offering housing for seniors. The project will replace 30 acres of undeveloped open land with a four-story apartment structure, a two-story assisted living center, and over four dozen single-family homes.
Spieker Senior Development Partners is responsible for the application. KTGY is the project architect. Gates + Associates is responsible for the landscape architecture.

Named The Glen at Heather Farm, the project will offer 530,581 square feet of independent living units and amenity space, 116,688 square feet for the villas, 163,967 square feet for parking garage and pool building, and 17,599 square feet for the maintenance building.

The project will reshape the thirty-acre property with two apartment buildings and 52 villas. The larger apartment structure will have four floors with 302 units designated for independent-living residents. The basement-level garage will include parking for 410 cars. Unit sizes will vary from one to three-bedroom apartments. The two-story health center will provide 100 assisted living or memory care units with close access to medical care.

As covered previously, renderings reveal farmhouse-style single-family residences with two-car garages and landscaped front yards. The podium-style apartment complex is wrapped with an articulated facade clad with stucco, fiber cement shingles, siding, brick and stone veneer, and wood trellises.
A project application has been submitted, pending review and approval. The Pleasant Hill BART Station is just 15 minutes away by bus or six minutes by bicycle. Construction is expected to last two to three years, though a groundbreaking date has yet to be established.
