Long Road Ahead for Farmer Planning 1,200-Acre Mixed-Use Project

ANTIOCH, CA-Interspersed between a winery, three lakes and an olive grove, local developer Bob Nunn envisions a 4,050-home adult community with six recreational centers, a 108-acre retail development and a 35-acre office park. He meets with city planners later this month.

ANTIOCH, CA-The biggest development proposal in this city’s history is in the works. Bob Nunn, a Brentwood farmer and developer of the popular Summerset adult community in Brentwood, is proposing a multi-use project on 1,200 acres in Southeast Antioch between Deer Valley and Balfour roads.

The proposal calls for an adult community comprised of 4,050 units, a retail development covering roughly 108 acres and an office park that would span more than 35 acres. Interspersed would be a winery, three lakes and an olive grove.

City officials have begun scrutinizing the plan and have asked Nunn for a study that would provide numbers and information on the kind of financial benefits the development could potentially bring to the community. “The city doesn’t want to build homes for the sake of building homes,” Nunn tells GlobeSt. “Residential developments are a fiscal drain on a city. But I think we have a strong argument here.”
