Wallis Ranch
Wallis Ranch is a multi-award winning master planned residential community, located on approximately 184 acres in the northernmost portion of Dublin, CA. In collaboration with Trumark Homes, GATES crafted the overall landscape master plan - creating a refined interpretation of an Agrarian/California Ranch landscape.
Over half of the master plan's acreage was dedicated to parks, open space and a water-quality basin. Stone walls, orchard grids, and native grass plantings are used to reinforce the agrarian/California Ranch theme in key areas. A central feature of the development's overall design were pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods, each which embody their own unique character and offer a generous mix of housing types. The eight neighborhoods are connected to each other by walkable tree-lined streets and pathways, which also link residents to a multi-use trail, surrounding regional trails, central park, and a resort-style Kindred House clubhouse.
