History
From 1891 when the Southern Pacific Railroad opened its San Ramon branch, the Tri-Valley region’s momentum toward a hub of culture, commerce and community was set in motion.
DSD Renewables’ (DSD) 23.9MW solar and storage portfolio for Bishop Ranch, a 600-acre mixed-use campus in San Ramon, California, has been named a Top Project of the Year winner in the 2024 Environment + Energy Leader Awards. The Environment + Energy Leader Awards program celebrates the exceptional advancements made in environmental, sustainability, and energy management.
The first of the 10,000 homes planned have sold, and homeowners will be moving in later this month. San Ramon-based developer and homebuilder SummerHill Homes sold the first 53 homes of its City Village development at Bishop Ranch, which will bring a total of 404 homes to the city over the next four years. It marks the first of the 10,000 homes Sunset Development Company plans to raise at the $5 billion mixed-use walkable community over the next decade.
