Dublin Ranch residents have been waiting for this news for some time. After a huge turn out to support the Promenade development a few weeks ago at a BBQ, the voices of residents were heard. First phase of six will be at the South East corner of Dublin Blvd. and Grafton. This will be home to Club Sport, office, and a parking garage.

Why buy in Dublin Ranch Villages (Dublin Ranch Condos)
Buying vs. renting: Compare 4333 Clarinbridge Cir. (Dublin Ranch Villas Condo). Purchase price of $329,000 with 5% down. Total monthly payments are $1,900 including HOA! This would rent for $2,000-$2,100. (Double check with a lender)
Location: This is an obvious one! Condos in Dublin Ranch are located extremely close to 580/680, BART, and the ACE train in Pleasanton. Safeway is across the street, Trader Joe’s is 3 minutes away and you can walk to Stacy’s, Armadillo Willy’s, Amici’s Pizza and Peet’s coffee! There is a dog park here too
Quality: Built by Toll Bros., the Villages at Dublin Ranch are by far superior to any other condos in the area when you add everything together. Granite counters, gas cooking, tile and hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, indoor laundry, attached garages, large bedrooms and open floor plans…

The Promenade at Dublin Ranch has been one of the most anticipated developments in Dublin Ranch. Club Sport has been in talks with the Promenade at Dublin Ranch developers for some time. Last August a preliminary plan was presented to the planning commission of Dublin.
Plans call for 3 buildings at the South East corner near the Terraces (1 of 6 phases).
Building 1 – A ‘Main Street’ building at the entrance will house the fitness center with a group exercise room, pool, spa, spa treatment rooms, aerobics room, lockers, cafe and offices. They expect to employ 85 people with 35 working at a given time.
Building 2 – 3 Stories with a restaurant and offices.
Building 3 – 4 tier parking structure to the North
This aspect of the Promenade is not yet approved because of the use permits. This section of the Promenade is part of the overal 230,000 total square feet of the Dublin Ranch Main Street, The Promenade at Dublin Ranch. The Promenade will have dining, entertainment and office space located within the Villages at Dublin Ranch community.
Grafton Plaza in Dublin Ranch is a very impressive new development in Dublin. Whether you are for Grafton Plaza or against Grafton Plaza, it is a development that is unlike any other in the East Bay. Whatever happens Grafton Plaza will be something different.
The other day I received a very important looking package from James Tong, you may have received one too if you live in Dublin Ranch. Within this package was a letter, postcard and booklet explaining what Dublin Ranch is.
The Letter:
The letter was signed by James Tong and it explained to me the 20 year plan Dublin Ranch has traveled through. Also the opportunity of Grafton Plaza because of its location and how Grafton Plaza will be a ‘people places’. Initially the plan was for 16 to 21 stories, that was cut in half to be 10 stories at the tallest as well and the number of residential unity in the towers. At the same time the number of office space was doubled. Grafton Plaza will also be the ‘cap’ of the Dublin Ranch neighborhood. I was excited to see the update.
The Postcard:
As you could probably guess, this packet was designed to get feedback on the development. What do you like, dislike, want to see or have questions on. I thought it was a great idea. Whatever Grafton Plaza becomes, hopefully it will be designed through the process of this feedback and the previously held workshops.
The Booklet:
I was fancy! It got my attention. It gave a history of Dublin Ranch and how far Grafton Plaza has come in its planning. Location is important so it highlighted the location of Grafton Plaza and how Dublin Ranch is laid out. Grafton Plaza is obviously located in the right location. The booklet really hit on what Grafton Plaza provides residents within Dublin and how Grafton Plaza can really be a one stop shop for living.
So what makes Grafton Plaza a ‘People Places’
Living
There will be a mix of homes: lofts, condo, live/work and shopkeeper units. This allows employees to live where they work. Not bad.
Offices
Grafton Plaza will have almost 300,000 square feet of office space.
Shopping, Restaurants, Entertainment
Both indoor and outdoor shops with restaurants in a plaza. Other entertainment/gathering places: sculpture garden, lookouts and parkways of landscaping.
Boutique Hotel
A 100-room luxury hotel.
Spa
Full service providing a destination for residents and visitors.
Grafton Plaza, however it looks, will compliment The Promenade as well at Grafton Station and make the surrounding Dublin Ranch Condos even more desirable.
While the Promenade at Dublin Ranch still in the ‘planning’ process from the City of Dublin there sure has been a lot of activity on the land. I took the picture below this morning of the Promenade and you can see the parking lot which was the former location of the Toll Brothers design and sales center is no more.
So why are there bulldozers on the land?
The Lin family asked Toll Brothers to relocate off the Promenade land in preparation for the coming Promenade development.
Currently nothing is approved for the Promenade, but there will be a section of the Promenade at the South East corner which is going for review next Tuesday.
Current information available:
There are a total of 6 ‘blocks’ within the Promenade at Dublin Ranch.
First up for review is at the corner of Grafton and Dublin Blvd. It will be a 3-story building with first level commercial and retail with second and third as office space.
Club Sport’s facility will be at this location as well.
Public hearing for the Promenade will be set for September at the earliest.
I can’t wait to see what the Promenade at Dublin Ranch will look like. We have all been waiting a long time!!
