Sunset Development has selected Lennar to build within Canopy, a 27-acre residential neighborhood that is being developed on the BR8 office building site at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon. Lennar closed on 25 acres within the larger Canopy parcel. Sunset Development retains ownership of the remaining two acres, designated for future affordable multi-housing. Demolition of the existing BR8 building and construction are expected in mid-to-late 2027.
“Building the best suburban downtown in America means getting the residential experience right,” said Alex Mehran Jr., president and CEO of Sunset Development Company. “Lennar brings the experience and scale to deliver that, and we look forward to seeing Canopy become a vital part of what Bishop Ranch is becoming.”
Within Canopy, Lennar will build 255 detached single-family homes ranging from two to three stories. The site transitions from three-story homes on the western edge to two-story homes abutting Summerhill’s City Village to the east.
