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 Sierras — so weekend adventure is always on the horizon. It’s a good life. And good for California, by tackling 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.
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.
park blocks to civic centers, neighborhood parks and homes clustered around green courts.
Fewer cars create fewer greenhouse gas emissions — and inspire more lunchtime walks, community events and people watching.
Welcome, every walk of life. Braden is designed to attract an enriching diversity of incomes, experiences and perspectives.
Walk, bike or EV everywhere for healthy, planet-kind living.
Between lush parks and tree-lined streets, Braden’s green canopy adds cooling shade, beauty and much-needed carbon reduction.
Nature goes beyond landscaping, providing a daily dose of beauty and breathing room wherever you go.
From pre-K to adult ed, neighborhood schools score high in handiness. Also nearby: UC Davis and Cal State Sacramento.

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.
