Project Updates
A Look at Our Progress
Construction of Placer One’s major infrastructure, residential neighborhoods, and amenities is underway throughout Phase 1. We are excited to have approximately 80 families already living in Placer One!
Significant upgrades are occurring to Sunset Boulevard (estimated completion end of 2026) and Foothills Boulevard (estimated completion in 2027). Visitors can currently tour 13 neighborhoods presented by 4 homebuilders, with model home complexes open daily. Other road construction to be completed in 2027 will facilitate development of multifamily, affordable housing sites.
Two Phase 1 parks are beginning construction now, in the Fall of 2026, with one pocket park (Scholar Park) scheduled to open in 2027, and the other in 2028 (Hawk’s Perch Park). The first trailhead and connection was completed in 2026, and the first paseo segment will be open by the end of 2026.
The University is also working on design for its first building, a forensics lab and associated teaching classrooms. Construction groundbreaking is expected to occur in the Spring of 2027.
Phase 1 includes
diverse neighborhoods
single-family detached homes
imaginative parks
Street and Infrastructure Development
A series of regional sewer lines benefitting Placer One and the Sunset Area Plan north of Placer One were installed in 2026.
Large segments of two arterial roads are also nearing completion: a new segment of Sunset Boulevard and a new segment of Fiddyment Road.
Home Construction Development
Model home construction began in mid 2025, and there will be 12 neighborhoods with a variety of homes available for purchase.
Phases 1B and 1C, currently under design, will expand the variety of housing options including affordable housing, high-density sites, medium-density housing and an active adult community. These areas will also feature several parks, paseos, and a Placer One Welcome Center.

Sacramento State Placer Development
Placer One has a major focus on education. At its core is Sacramento State Placer, a 300 acre collaboration between Sacramento State and Sierra College. The California State University Board of Trustees has approved the master plan and the Placer County Board of Supervisors has allocated $2.5 million to move forward with the design of the County Forensics Lab.
When the campus first opens, it can accommodate 1,500 students. In the current master plan, the campus is planned to accommodate 12,000 Sacramento State and Sierra College students. In addition to a regional forensic lab and academic buildings, the campus will include a conference center, a performing arts building, a library and more.
