Developer Selected For New Bishop Ranch Housing

SAN RAMON, CA — Bishop Ranch announced Monday that it has selected Related California, a developer of more than 18,000 residential units completed or under construction, to develop the neighborhood’s first multifamily community housing, pending approval from the City of San Ramon.

The city plans to construct an 85-foot-high, 266-652-square-feet residential building offering 381 dwelling units on a 5.8-acre parcel, according to SF YIMBY. Fifteen percent of the units will be priced for households deemed low or very low. Current San Ramon city council candidates have all praised the project as bringing needed housing into an already dense area close to public transportation, shopping, and office buildings.

Over the next 20-30 years, Bishop Ranch owner Sunset Development hopes to introduce 4,500 multi-family residential units into the neighborhood. The CityWalk Bishop Ranch master plan also hopes to build a 169-room hotel, 170,000 square feet of retail space and a new office parking structure.

“Related California has a 30-year track record of placemaking and Class-A residential development that is unmatched in today’s market,” Sunset Development CEO Alex Mehran Jr. said in a statement about the company, which is the West Coast affiliate of Related Companies. “Their uncompromising commitment to deliver the highest standard of living for every market sector makes them an ideal partner for us. Without a doubt, they will enhance our San Ramon community and fulfill some of the much-needed East Bay housing demand.”

“Related California is excited to partner with the Mehran family and expand into the City of San Ramon,” Related California Principal Matthew Witte said. “We have seen exponential growth, with more people drawn to this Bay Area city, and look forward to being a part of the community.”
