Redlands, Calif.

The University of Redlands is planning to construct the 30-acre University Village adjacent to its existing campus in Redlands, Calif. Moore Ruble Yudell has been selected as the architect and planner for the public-private development, which is being created in collaboration with REACH Redlands LLC, a joint venture of Republic Metropolitan, Creative Housing Associates, and Arteco Partners. Sited next to a new rail station, the fully integrated neighborhood will provide an array of residential options, a market hall with retail and dining amenities, and flexible workspaces for entrepreneurs and small businesses. A central village green will invite students, locals, visitors, and innovators to gather and connect, accompanied by a boutique hotel with a rooftop bar and restaurant offering panoramic views of the San Bernardino Mountains.

The ambitious, multiphase project will incorporate the highest level of best practices for sustainable design and operations, including renewable energy systems, cool streets that reduce carbon emissions and maximize shading, and the use of recycled grey water for landscape irrigation. Modern bike lanes and pedestrian-friendly walkways will complement alternative transportation methods to reduce the need for automobiles. The vibrant mixed-use district will break ground in 2024.
