Tech Moguls Say They’ve Bought Enough Land To Build Utopian City In California

  • A Silicon Valley group backed by billionaires said it’s acquired all the land it needs to build a utopian city in Northern California, after quietly buying more properties in the past month.
  • Flannery Associates LLC, the company behind the California Forever project, acquired at least seven more land parcels totaling about 814 acres in Solano County in October, according to county records. The company now owns more than 53,000 acres in the area — after some parcels traded hands — where it plans to create a walkable, green community they say would generate thousands of jobs.
  • “With regards to future purchases, except for a few remaining properties that Flannery has under contract and will close on in the coming weeks, Flannery has assembled all the land it needs and does not anticipate making any additional purchases,” the company said in a statement.
