This Is a Story About Balance

This is a journey to a different life

Say hello to a radically new way to live and work in California. A new community that’s fully approved and development-ready. With all the texture and energy of urban living, but with more nature in your day. A healthier, easier, innovative way of life that will attract talent and nurture productivity.

At Braden, work, home, school and entertainment will be within 10-minute reach via EV shuttle, e-bike and foot power. It’s a sustainable, interconnected community tuned to innovators and our evolving work lives. In Sacramento, where the land starts its rise toward the Sierra. (So weekend adventure is always on the horizon.) And it’s the start of a whole new community ecology that tackles some of the most pressing social and environmental challenges of our time.

Braden means “wide valley,” a name that’s true to our California Central Valley location. And our belief in wide-open possibilities.

Climate Balance Meets Life Balance

Our world is at a pressure point. The issues are big, but here’s the good news. Where we put our businesses and homes has more impact on the environment than anything else we can do. Braden is designed to help solve the problems we face. Going far beyond carbon credits and other half-measures. Creating real, positive impact for the planet — and people’s everyday lives.

A whole new day

Urban Meets Nature
and They Do the Tango

The heart of Braden will be a vibrant center of town, designed for people, not cars. Where lunchtime will find workers spilling out into shady “park blocks” — cooled by a lush tree canopy and lined with eclectic boutiques and restaurants. Inspired by Sacramento’s heritage as the City of Trees, and the Bay Area’s dynamic art, music and café culture.

Shared green spaces inspire outdoor play, neighborhood barbecues and fresh air during workdays at home.

Outside is the new normal. Open spaces include a 500-acre preserve, surrounded by an inviting trail system.

TOWN MEETS NATURE

Mother Nature is your neighbor, thanks to Braden’s big nature preserve, greenways, parks — and the Sierras down the road.

Sacramento Love

Welcome to one of America’s top 20 most livable cities, according to Outside magazine. A city that stays true to its friendly, grounded self — even though its “booming craft beer and cocktail culture, an explosion of noteworthy restaurants, and thriving arts scene are all turning heads like never before,” says New York magazine. Fave local events include the Farm-to-Fork Festival, the Tower Bridge Dinner, Sofar Sounds and the Wide Open Walls public art festival. And with two rivers, four seasons and a vast mountain range just down the road, Sacramentans love their just-right pairing of nature and culture.

Town Center

The first phase of this 8,000 home community is a mixed-use village that supports health and wellness (including Mother Earth’s). It’s a people place, where the car takes a back seat. And classic park blocks invite everyone outdoors for fresh air commutes and lunch hours. With green infrastructure, we’ll create our own City of Trees. The Town Center is a dynamic place that blurs the lines between home, work and culture.

Green is our favorite color

A five-acre town green will be the heart of the community, inspiring movement and good conversation. Other greenspaces will include parkways, pocket parks, paseos, plazas and trail corridors.

Every flavor of home

Multi-family homes and townhomes tuck in close to the core of town center, while a mix of single-family homes extend deeper into the community.

Every flavor of office, too

Skip the commute. Pair that home setup with meetings at a cafe, co-work space or actual office.

A full life (and belly)

Offices at Braden keep you close to restaurants, cafes, a food hall — and all kinds of retail, too, for before-and-after-work shopping.

Schools with smart moves

Here’s a bright idea. A great K-5 school in the heart of town, walkable and bikeable from home and office, with wide open spaces for play and discovery.

Behold the car-free commute

From the multi-modal hub, EV shuttles span the community, connecting to light rail and the region beyond. Bikes, scooters and trails provide a fresh air option.
