The San Ramon Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans later today for a new townhouse community at Bishop Ranch 7 in the heart of the Contra Costa County city. The proposal, dubbed Bartlett, will replace a large office block at 2545 Camino Ramon with new housing as part of the CityWalk Bishop Ranch masterplan. Sunset Development is responsible for the application.
Plans for Bartlett will bring 190 new units, of which 118 will be multi-plex units and 72 single-family homes. The 118 multiplex units will be spread across 25 structures spanning nearly 240,000 square feet. The suburban homes will each span between 2,000 and 2,400 square feet, for a total of 159,096 square feet with 36,400 square feet of parking. Barlett will provide parking for 436 cars, or two per unit, plus 56 guest parking spaces.

The project will provide affordable housing to ensure it qualifies for the State Density Bonus law. Of the 190 units, ten will be for very low-income households, five for low-income households, and 14 for moderate-income households. So far, the team has requested a minimum floor area ratio waiver and a separate reduction from the 496-car parking requirements.
SDG Architects is responsible for the design. The drafted plans show three different elevation styles with slightly different color palettes. All of the facades will be comprised of stucco, board siding, and gable roofing.
The CityWalk master plan, approved in August 2020, is expected to reshape the roughly 135-acre office park with up to 4,500 homes, another 170,000 square feet of retail, and more parking. The proposal aims to bring a mixed-use neighborhood to the sprawling campus developed by the family behind the Sunset Development Company.
Barlett will replace a 12.64-acre parcel located bound by Camino Ramon, Executive Parkway, and the Iron Horse trail. The site is directly across from the 404-unit City Village masterplan by Summerhill Homes. Construction of phase one is already wrapping up with sales underway. Future residents will be close to the Iron Horse Middle School, Central Park, and around 15 minutes from the busy City Center Bishop Ranch shopping mall. The retail center was opened in 2018 by Sunset Development, with design by the renowned Renzo Piano Building Workshop.
