A new project in Pleasanton will transform a former quarry into a residential community called ‘Villages at the Quarry.’ The Pleasanton Planning Commission sanctioned the approval for the project a few days ago, and construction is set to begin soon.
Atlanta-based developers, Seefried Industrial Properties, submitted the application for the project. The plan proposes to build 412 homes in the roughly 52-acre piece of land at 3300 Busch Road – the southeast corner of Busch Road and Valley Avenue.
