Initiative updates zoning to facilitate over 200 senior housing units and community serving retail near Walnut Creek BART station
Walnut Creek, CA – Friends of Walnut Creek Senior Housing, sponsored by Hall Equities Group, a Walnut Creek-based real estate investment company announced they have submitted over 7,200 signatures to qualify the Walnut Creek Senior Housing Transit Village Initiative for the November 2026 ballot.
The team collected the signatures from Walnut Creek voters in just 25 days. This was the fastest qualification of a signature-based initiative in Walnut Creek history.
“We’re thrilled that Walnut Creek voters are clearly just as excited about bringing much needed senior housing to Downtown Walnut Creek as we are,” said Mark Hall, CEO of Hall Equities Group. “A huge thank you to the many volunteers who helped us secure the signatures in record time. We look forward to engaging with the City and the Walnut Creek community as we continue to shape this project.”
The initiative aims to update zoning in Downtown Walut Creek to facilitate delivery of over 200 units of senior housing and mixed-use retail to a 2.4-acre site located at the northeast corner of North California Boulevard and Ygnacio Valley Road, across the street from the Walnut Creek BART station.
In addition to senior housing, the initiative paves the way for a vibrant, mixed-use center that supports community-serving shopping, dining, entertainment and other convenient services.
The initiative aligns with the city’s goals to create a range of housing opportunities for seniors, mixed-use development, healthy community design and growth near transit, all while supporting a diverse downtown economy.
The City of Walnut Creek has accepted the signatures and will now forward them to Contra Costa County for validation. Once signatures are validated, the measure qualifies for the November 2026 ballot. Alternatively, the city can decide to adopt the initiative outright, in which case the zoning will be amended to allow for the Senior Housing Transit Village.
