Bellevue Ranch East: Campus Community A Transformative Mixed-Use Development Opportunity UC Merced invites qualified developers to partner in creating a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented campus community on a 22.75-acre site at 655 Bellevue Road—the closest shovel-ready parcel to the UC Merced campus. This project envisions a dynamic blend of housing prioritized for university faculty and staff, alongside retail spaces designed to foster a true "college town" experience. The development will emphasize sustainability, connectivity, and community engagement, serving as a model for urban living in Merced. The selected developer will oversee all aspects of planning, design, financing, entitlements, and construction. The transaction is structured around a long-term unsubordinated ground lease, with an option to purchase up to six acres for a potential for-sale residential component. This opportunity is now available for consideration on the UCMPlanroom.com site.
