Bishop Ranch Chevron Park Update
Chevron Park is an office area of San Ramon that recently sold to Sunset Development (Bishop Ranch) and is being evaluated for redevelopment, along with the southern portion of Bishop Ranch 1. The preliminary vision for the property is to create a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use community that includes concentrated commercial, residential and recreational uses that are integrated with Bishop Ranch and City Center.
The City of San Ramon hosted the first Public Workshop on January 31, 2023 in an effort to solicit public input early in the process and help inform the future development of Chevron Park. The first workshop provided a preliminary review of concepts for redevelopment, including low-, medium- and high-density housing options, and discussed the pros and cons of each.
