While San Juan Oaks Golf Club is celebrating its 30-year anniversary, a housing development being led by Third Millennium Partners is continuing to make progress.
According to Third Millennium Partners CEO Dustin Bogue, his group purchased the golf course and housing development in 2015, recognizing the two concerns were “inexplicably intertwined.” It made sense, Bogue said, to combine the properties for water conservation, and it would be easy to connect homeowners with services at the golf course.
When the development is completed, there are expected to be 1,017 “active adult” units for those 55 and over, and 67 “non-active adult” homes built for all ages at market rate, for a total of 1,084 units.
The project, Bogue said, has five phases, four of which are in the active adult community, and is currently in its first phase. For the market rate homes, the lots are complete and the group will contract with a homebuilder later this year, he said.
He predicted it will be close to 10 years before the development is complete. Initial housing proposals began to take shape back in 2003-04, but active work on the site work, framing and sales did not begin until 2023.
“We are developers and homeowners by trade,” Bogue said, noting that the active adult homes are a specialized type of house, product and community, likening it to living on a cruise ship. That area of the development, he said, comes with “stunning” land.
The active adult community will have a lot to offer, he said, notably an “Oaks club” that is 20,000 square feet with an indoor swimming pool, climate control, gym, arts & crafts center, gaming areas, special interest clubs, demonstration kitchen and multipurpose area.
There will also be walking paths and a public community park, the latter of which has been completed.
Every development, Bogue said, has its own personality as well as social, political and environmental implications.
“We are conscious in being thoughtful in where we develop,” he said, noting his firm has built all around the country, including in Monterey County.
He said it’s important to him and his team for the end result to be “something to be proud of.”
“We think about the little stuff,” which matters a lot, he said.
