New building permits have been filed for six single-family residences at the Gale Ranch development in San Ramon, Contra Costa County. Located between 201 and 225 Zinnia Court, the houses will be a part of the Serena at Gale Ranch neighborhood, developed by the Toll Brothers firm. Five of the six homes have already been sold, with the sixth currently available for purchase.
The East Bay Times has reported that the San Ramon City Council unanimously approved the CityWalk development for Bishop Ranch. The project has the potential to be a catalyst for a new direction in suburban San Ramon. Thanks to city approval, Sunset Development Company is set to build 4,500 new apartment units and a mixed-use neighborhood that encourages foot traffic, bicycle use, and public transit. Most impressively, no residential neighborhoods were displaced. The adaptive reuse of parking land will transform one percent of the city’s area to house ten percent of its population.
