Quarterra Multifamily, a subsidiary of Lennar, has announced the commencement of construction on its residential community, Renata, in Santa Rosa, California, US. 

The new 260-apartment home garden-style community marks the company’s first community in the region and the ninth development in Northern California. 

Situated within the Perennial Park master-planned community, Renata will comprise a range of one- and two-bedroom apartment homes. 

The apartments, with sizes ranging from 650ft² to 1,077ft², will feature kitchens, living areas, and closet space in bedrooms.  

The ten-acre property will also provide an outdoor courtyard, a resort-inspired pool with barbeque grilling stations, a clubhouse with a social lounge, a 24-hour fitness centre, and more. 

Additionally, the community park will offer landscaped seating, picnic areas, a dog-run space, and a children's play area.  

Renata is aiming for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification and will incorporate several energy-efficient features such as on-site solar generation and electric vehicle (EV) chargers.  

Located at 3575 Mendocino Avenue, the community will offer residents access to local and regional transportation services. 

Quarterra Northern California division president Jesse Herzog said: “This community will provide interconnectivity with the surrounding neighbourhood and serve as a uniting presence. Residents will have access to a hand-selected amenities package that supports health, vitality and sense of community both within and outside its walls.  

“We're excited to deliver this exceptional living experience as Quarterra's first venture into Sonoma County.” 

Last year, Quarterra Multifamily, in collaboration with QuadReal Property Group, announced milestones at two upscale communities in the Marymoor submarket of Redmond. 

The communities comprise Spectra, a luxury mixed-use community and The Piper, a 284-home luxury community.
