Rio Vista, CA

AREC acquired 325 acres of entitled land in Rio Vista, CA, in the Sacramento River Delta (65 miles from San Francisco.) The land was originally approved in 2006 for large, higher priced ($800k) homes. AREC worked with the local municipality to enhance the entitlements, increasing the total lots from 663 in the original pro forma to 974. AREC then developed the land into finished lots which were sold to an entry-level homebuilder, thereby converting an abandoned parcel into a thriving community with record-setting home sales.
