Willowgrove is the first project in Davis history to invest in an approved subdivision map prior to a public vote - providing voters certainty about the community we'll build.
Willowgrove delivers three commitments Davis has never seen before — affordable housing built upfront with no City funding, a transparent Approved Subdivision Map, and exceptional developer-funded amenities that benefit everyone.
Under Davis' Measure J/R/D rule, voters get the final say on projects like this. Through four years of community input and refinements, our community shaped the design of the project to meet our values. It earned widespread community support and unanimous City Council and Planning Commission approvals. Now for the final step, Measure W is on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Willowgrove is shovel-ready and with your support we can deliver on this vision.
The numbers behind Davis' most committed housing measure.
Voters have been asked to trust future promises on housing. Willowgrove asks something different — a vote on a plan that's already locked in. This project is bound to an Approved Subdivision Map, so what voters see today is what can be built tomorrow. No surprises, no renegotiation, no do-overs. No future promises. Just a plan.
43% of the homes at Willowgrove will be affordable or attainable to current Davis families - giving opportunities for the missing middle to live and work in Davis and adding 700+ students to local schools.
100% developer-funded $21+ million community park at no cost to taxpayers - designed through 70+ community meetings. 100% developer-funded guarantee in the Baseline Project Features and Development Agreement.
Willowgrove funds $11 million in traffic improvements along Davis' key corridors - going beyond fair share to fix problems Davis already faces.
Next to Wildhorse and north of Mace Ranch. 232 acres thoughtfully planned through four years of community input.
Willowgrove is designed and engineered to deliver built and occupied homes in Davis at unprecedented speed with unprecedented community investments while upholding Davis sustainability values. The project integrates cleanly with existing General Plan policies, CEQA thresholds, and infrastructure frameworks. For Commissions, Council, staff, and voters alike, Willowgrove offers a credible, and high-confidence pathway to effectively address the Davis housing crisis while preserving the values and character of Davis.
