Early site work finishes at Stone Beetland in South Sacramento.
Sacramento’s next major transit-oriented development is beginning to take visible shape just north of Cosumnes River Boulevard.
A recent site visit by Onsite Observer captured aerial footage showing that early grading is now complete on the 140-acre Stone Beetland project.

The development is a planned residential community situated directly east of the Delta Shores master-planned area and adjacent to the newly opened Morrison Creek light rail station. At full buildout, Stone Beetland is set to bring 1,163 homes to South Sacramento.
The project was acquired last year by Roseville-based Taylor Builders LLC, which purchased the site for $11.25 million. That acquisition came shortly before the firm also assumed control of Delta Shores, the large-scale planned community located just to the south. In that deal, Taylor Builders took over more than 1,200 future home lots and several multifamily sites. With both projects now under the same umbrella, they are being planned and engineered in tandem—sharing infrastructure and technical systems that allow for a more coordinated buildout.
Stone Beetland will include four residential villages designed around a network of parks, trails, and bike facilities. The easternmost edge, known as the Transit Village, will include 711 high-density housing units and a 6.1-acre commercial zone near the light rail station.
The Central Village will add 262 medium-density homes in formats ranging from courtyard homes to compact single-family lots.
The North and West Villages will contain another 190 low-density homes, buffered by open space and greenways. Altogether, the site will deliver 1,163 homes with a net residential density of over 20 units per acre—qualifying it as a Transit Priority Project under California law. Taylor Builders has committed to reserving 20 percent of those units, or roughly 220 homes, as affordable housing.
Following grading, infrastructure work is planned to begin soon, connecting Stone Beetland to the Delta Shores water and sewer systems, which were originally designed with this expansion in mind. A new Class I multi-use trail will link the villages to the Morrison Creek light rail station and continue west toward the future 24th Street corridor, offering residents a car-free option for commuting and daily errands.
With grading now complete and utility installation on the horizon, Stone Beetland is slowly taking shape as one of the city’s more consequential infill developments. How quickly vertical construction follows will depend on infrastructure timelines and broader market conditions.
