Wallis Ranch

DUBLIN, CA—On the heels of the official grand opening at Wallis Ranch, Trumark Communities has revealed a first glimpse of the Kindred House, Dublin's first resort-inspired community gathering place at the 806-home master planned community. Centrally located to all eight neighborhoods within Wallis Ranch, the Kindred House boasts more than 17,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor amenity spaces dedicated to relaxation, fitness, meetings, dining and entertainment.

“We're seeing a trend of residential communities incorporating more communal spaces to encourage interaction between residents, and Wallis Ranch is no exception,” said Peter Kiesecker, chief operating officer of Trumark Communities. “We wanted to create a place for our residents to form connections with their neighbors and make memories with their families while enjoying the robust collection of amenities designed to create a tranquil enclave for their active lifestyles.”

Working with California-based interior design firm CDC Designs, Trumark envisioned a design for the Kindred House based on cues from the local Napa and Sonoma modern farmhouse wineries and inspired by the distinct charm of the local countryside including ranchers' cottages.

“Our team spent countless hours visiting wineries, hotels and other attractions throughout Northern California to refine our design vision for the Kindred House which we believe is unlike anything else that exists. We are looking forward to welcoming our first residents this fall,” added Kiesecker.

The family room lounge space and open-air pavilion has a gourmet catering kitchen and bar area with big screen TVs. The indoor space flows freely onto the outdoor terrace with lighting between canopy trees, water fountains, fire pits and additional seating areas. The three-acre common area, designed by landscape architect Gates Associates, will also offer a fitness center, outdoor yoga patio, tot lot, 75-foot swimming pool, oversized spa and barbecue area, all surrounded by more than one mile of trail systems.

A spacious event lawn will host residents for concert and movie nights, and adjacent to that will be a garden where a full-time farmer will raise seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs made available to the community at a nearby produce stand. An imported heritage oak tree will anchor the entire community,

“We are highly encouraged by the tremendous interest we've received to date from the surrounding community,” Mark Higgins, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Trumark Communities, tells GlobeSt.com. “With the East Bay ranking among the fastest growing in new home developments in major US markets due to the tremendous housing demand, we are confident that the homes within the gated Wallis Ranch community will be warmly received by the market.”

Wallis Ranch will consist of 806 single-family detached homes, townhomes and executive homes in eight distinct neighborhoods: Riverton by KB Home, Fielding by Trumark Homes, Trestle and Driftsong by Warmington Residential, Citron by Pulte Homes, Barnwell by DR Horton, Bridgecroft by Emerald Homes and Ivy Oak by Taylor Morrison. Seven neighborhoods are currently offering homes for sale.

Trumark Communities recently dedicated 10 acres of land for the city of Dublin to build public parks at the entrance to Wallis Ranch. The community's entrance on the Antone Pavilion is a tribute to the original 1912 Antone Schoolhouse on the site and an interactive sculpture was built resembling the old relics found during construction.

Steady gains in the US economy have resulted in net positives for the multifamily sector—will this wave continue for the foreseeable future? What's driving development and capital flows?
