The Walnut Creek Design Review Committee is scheduled to review plans tomorrow evening for a several-hundred-townhouse development proposed at 2775–2855 Mitchell Drive in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County. The project is looking to bring housing to an existing office campus surrounded by retail and near Ygnacio Valley High School. Signature Development Group is the developer.

The Mitchell Townhomes proposal looks to create 82 three-story multiplex structures, containing a total of roughly 839,650 square feet across 422 for-sale apartments. Unit types will vary with 64 two-bedrooms, 282 three-bedrooms, and 76 four-bedrooms. Each residence will be connected to a private garage, resulting in a total capacity for 955 cars. Of the 422 units, 55 will be designated as affordable to lower-income households.
KTGY Group is the project architect, with the Guzzardo Partnership Inc. working as the landscape architect. Illustrations from the team show a familiar contemporary aesthetic across the campus, with each multiplex articulated with gable roof facades delineating individual townhomes. Facade materials will include fiber cement board and batten siding, lap siding, and stucco.

Demolition will be required for the existing 11-structure office campus, alongside the 1,481-lot surface parking. The 22-acre property is bound by Mitchell Drive and Shadelands Drive. Future residents will be near several strip malls anchored by a grocery store, restaurants, and other retail.
