biggest new project, Westlake Villages,
is opening a new area near Village West
Marina. “There’s a housing shortage,
and our principal buyer is from Stock-
ton, looking for a new place to live,”
says Tom Doucette, president of FBC
Homes, which is selling the first 73 of the
development’s expected 1,900 additional
homes.

New home construction can be found
in many parts of the city. That includes
small projects that fill in established
neighborhoods, such as FCB Homes’ nine
homes at Black Hawk and KB Home’s
122 homes at Montevella, both in North
Stockton, and KB’s 91 homes in Belluno,
near the downtown waterfront. The city’s
River Islands is an almost 5,000-acre
master-planned community that began
construction in 2014. Sited along the banks
of the San Joaquin River, the community has
1,500 homes with plans for 9,500 more,
including some lakeside, built over 12 neigh-
borhoods by seven homebuilders. “We are
very much a part of Lathrop, which provides
all of our utility, planning and permitting
services,” says Susan Dell’Osso, president of
River Islands Development.

BUILDING HEALTH CARE CHOICES AND ACCESS
A
dventist Health now manages Dameron Hospital,
expanding health care choices and access in the
Stockton area. “We’re eager to build San Joaquin
Manteca
County health care services together,” says Bill Trezza,
Turnleaf, opened in 2019, is an “age-qual-
ified” housing development with 84
homesites in six neighborhoods developed
by Anthem United. It includes a clubhouse,
pool, yoga studio, and amphitheater. KB
Homes is adding single- and two-story
homes to an existing neighborhood at Haven
Villas, and Manteca-based Raymus Homes
is constructing 135 homes in the city’s Ole-
ander Estates neighborhood.
Dameron Hospital Board president.
Dameron, a 202-bed medical center, chose Adventist Health
because of a shared commitment to community and because
Adventist Health brings the expertise and resources of a large
health care system to Stockton. With many changes and
challenges in health care, being connected to a system offers
many advantages for a freestanding hospital like Dameron.
Roseville-based Adventist Health operates 22 hospitals
Mountain House
and more than 280 medical offices in California, Oregon
and Hawaii.
With more than 20 years of hospital leadership experience,
Daniel Wolcott serves as president of Dameron Hospital as
well as Adventist Health Lodi Memorial. In addition to serving
on boards of several local community organizations, he serves
as founding president of the board of HealthForce Partners,
which creates career pathway opportunities in San Joaquin
County to prepare skilled workers for health care careers.
“Adventist Health is honored to have been selected for this
agreement,” says Wolcott. “Dameron has a heritage of health
care excellence, and we look forward to building on that.”

Fifteen miles east of Livermore, the exurb
of Mountain House, a planned community,
launched in 2001 during a real estate boom
and was the epicenter of the region’s melt-
down in 2008, when headlines noted that
90 percent of owners owed more than their
homes were worth, and foreclosures soared.
The community has rebounded with five
homebuilders (Richmond American Homes,
Shea Homes, Signature Homes, TRI Pointe
Homes and Woodside Homes) offering
homes in new developing neighborhoods.
