Quarterra's Renata Apartments Breaks Ground on 260-Unit Community in Santa Rosa

Lennar Corporation’s Quarterra subsidiary has officially commenced construction on Renata, a garden-style residential development that will introduce 260 one- and two-bedroom apartments to Santa Rosa, California. The project represents Quarterra’s ninth Northern California venture and marks the company’s entry into Sonoma County’s growing residential market.

Strategic Location and Regional Appeal

Situated at 3575 Mendocino Avenue, Renata’s placement within the Perennial Park master-planned community provides residents with unparalleled connectivity to the surrounding region. The development benefits from Santa Rosa’s robust public transportation network, including CityBus, SMART, and County Transit services. The city’s extensive bike trail infrastructure connects residents to downtown districts, regional attractions, and natural amenities spanning multiple counties including Mendocino, Lake, Napa and Humboldt.

Santa Rosa’s appeal extends beyond transportation convenience. The region has emerged as a hub for remote work opportunities while maintaining strong community identity and proximity to wine country, beaches, and mountain ranges. This combination positions Renata to attract professionals and families seeking lifestyle flexibility without sacrificing access to vibrant urban centers.

Design and Amenities Package

The 10-acre property embraces local outdoor culture through thoughtfully curated amenities. Renata will feature one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 650 to 1,077 square feet, each equipped with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and designer fixtures.

Community amenities include a resort-style pool with integrated grilling stations, state-of-the-art fitness facilities available 24/7, social clubhouse lounge, dedicated dog run, and a landscaped community park with picnic areas and children’s play space. The development combines surface-level and garage parking options for resident convenience.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

Renata is pursuing LEED Gold certification and incorporates multiple environmental features. The community will include on-site solar generation and EV charging infrastructure, positioning it as a forward-thinking residential option aligned with California’s sustainability goals.
