On October 17th, we will proudly celebrate the grand opening of Sugar Pine Village, South Lake Tahoe Phase 1, in South Lake Tahoe / El Dorado County. This thoughtfully designed residential community, offering 248 units across East and West Village, reflects the timeless "Tahoe Rustic" architectural style and serves?the local Tahoe workforce.

At the heart of this family-oriented development is a village center featuring a bike-centric entrance, community , and public service buildings, trails, and play areas that promote connection and sustainability. This project is more than housing—it’s about fostering a sense of community with features like Sugar Pine Meadow, rain gardens for stormwater management, and multi-use trails that connect childcare centers, community gardens, and recreational spaces.
Sugar Pine Village, South Lake Tahoe’s success is a testament to the symphony of partners who came together to make this vision a reality. We are grateful to St. Joseph Community Land Trust, Related California, and Meea?Kang's?leadership?for their key roles, alongside invaluable contributions from the City of South Lake Tahoe, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, and other dedicated partners. Incredibly, entitlement was completed in 90 days, a remarkable achievement.

Following the successful blueprint of King’s Beach (2013), Sugar Pine Village marks the second of its kind and sets the stage for future affordable housing projects across the Tahoe region. These juxtaposed?developments create?new opportunities to expand access to housing throughout the area.
