Willowgrove Project

The Willowgrove Project is a proposed mixed-use community development on a 232-acre site in Davis, California, led by the City of Davis and developed by Davis Eastside, LLC. The project consists of 1,250 dwelling units, including a mix of affordable and market-rate single- and multi-family residences, alongside retail spaces, daycare facilities, parks, and open space. Key infrastructure components include the installation of two stormwater outfalls, a clear-span bridge for emergency vehicle access, and the removal of existing road crossings, culverts, and irrigation infrastructure. The project requires several discretionary approvals, including annexation into the City of Davis and a General Plan amendment. Environmental and regulatory compliance is a central focus, with a Draft Environmental Impact Report addressing air quality, biological resources, noise, and transportation. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Streambed Alteration Agreement YOL-67737-R2, confirming no significant environmental effects within its jurisdiction. Additional technical assessments have verified the capacity of the City of Davis Wastewater Treatment Plant and the sufficiency of the water supply. Construction is scheduled to begin on April 1, 2027, with a target operational year of 2035. The project also includes a commitment to sustainability through a dedicated plan and an affordable housing strategy providing 250 deed-restricted rental units.
