Preliminary permits have been filed for hundreds of homes to replace the Walnut Creek Executive Park, a large office campus around 2775 Mitchell Drive in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County.

A few weeks ago, YIMBY visited Bishop Ranch in San Ramon to learn more about plans to build thousands of new homes in the business park. The 2020-approved project has been revised to include an additional 2,6000 units on top of the former Chevron headquarters, with plans to modernize their remaining office space with added flexibility to attract and retain tenants. During our visit, YIMBY got to talk with Alex Mehran Jr, president and chief executive officer of Sunset Development Company.
