SAN RAMON, CA–Bishop Ranch's 2600, the premier office building in the heart of the suburban office complex, is getting a fresh dining concept later this year. The culinary hub, Roundhouse Market, will include three quick-serve concepts, an upscale restaurant and coffee bar, which are all currently under construction. This new concept is taking the traditional office cafeteria and giving it a modern upgrade.
In addition to new dining options, Bishop Ranch is adding a state-of-the-art fitness pavilion, conference rooms, lakeside dining with the full-service New American restaurant offering a lakefront dock patio, electric Duffy boat rides and year-around special events. All told, the offerings will create a one-of-a-kind destination for not only the Bishop Ranch community, but for all residents of the East Bay. It will be in close proximity to the City Center development slated for first quarter 2017 completion. Other convenience retail will be scattered within, a K-8 school is opening in the fall of this year and entitled housing will complete the walkability picture.
Alexander Mehran Jr., president and COO of Sunset Development Company, Bishop Ranch's planner and developer, tells GlobeSt.com:
“Catering and dining within an office campus is usually a weekday activity. We wanted to facilitate live/work/play integration, with walkability to City Center or fishing in West Lake, for weeknight and weekend enjoyment. We are creating a culturally suburban destination.”
Bishop Ranch officials are working in partnership with Moana Restaurant Group and design partners, IA Interior Architects, Geremia Design and Abueg Morris Architects to create the lively atmosphere of Roundhouse Market. Moana Restaurant Group owns and operates a portfolio of inspired dining concepts including Molina, The Farmers Union, Corners Tavern, Piatti, Paragon and El Dorado Hotel & Kitchen. Earlier this year, the company also assumed operations for the majority of the restaurants within the Lark Creek Restaurant Group.
IA Interior Architects, the architect of record, brings services ranging from interior architecture, strategic programming and planning to modeling technology, sustainability and market-proven design.
Geremia Design, a boutique interior design firm known for creating comfortable and creative spaces, is designing both the coffee bar and the upscale New American restaurant.
Abueg Morris Architects, a firm with experience in restaurants, food service and food retail, is designing the interiors for the Mexican taqueria, the pizzeria and the salad concept, as well as the seating area.
“We are excited for the addition of this new dining concept and all of its amenities,” said Stewart L. Bambino, president and CEO of the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. “San Ramon has been transformed into a live, play, work destination thanks to the commitment of Sunset Development.”
