Wallis Ranch
Dublin, CA
Wallis Ranch is a multi-award-winning, 184-acre master-planned community in the northernmost part of Dublin, California. In collaboration with Trumark Homes, GATES crafted the overall landscape master plan to blend elements of the area’s agrarian history with a refined California ranch design aesthetic.
More than half of the planned community is dedicated to parks, open space, and stormwater retention. Stone walls, orchard grids, and native grass plantings echo the agrarian theme throughout eight pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods, each with a distinct character and a variety of housing types. Walkable paths and tree-lined streets connect residents to community amenities, including multi-use trails, parks, and a resort-style clubhouse.
This project was completed in 2016.
