Elliott Homes to Develop Mixed-Use Center

FOLSOM, CA-Locally based Elliott Homes is planning a $70-million mixed-use project here on 54 acres overlooking Interstate 50 that will be master-planned to integrate with Kaiser Permanante’s plans for a medical center on an adjoining 50-acre parcel. Kaiser acquired its property from Elliott in October.

The 104-acre site is bordered by East Bidwell Street, Iron Point Road and Broadstone Parkway. Elliott’s project is being called Broadstone Town Center, in deference to the area of Folsom in which the project is located. If both the Kaiser campus and the mixed-use development come to fruition, Elliott officials say it would be one of the West’s first mixed-use developments in which a shopping district, residential units and a major healthcare campus enjoy a master-planned relationship on one large site.

Dennis Dornan of Field Paoli Architects, the San Francisco-based firm responsible for the project’s feasibility study, the master planning process and the design on the Elliott side of the project, tells GlobeSt.com Broadstone Town Center will include approximately 900,000 sf of built space divided among high-rise multifamily residential space and retail space. How much of each is still being determined, as the master planning process is still in its infancy, says Dornan, but the design will follow the Main Street format of traditional American downtown business districts.
