Overview

The City of Richmond is embarking on an exciting opportunity to re-envision an approximately 143-acre site that consists of the Hilltop regional shopping mall and areas immediately surrounding it to the south and east through the development of the Hilltop Horizon Specific Plan. The site is located within the Hilltop Priority Development Area (PDA) and situated south of Richmond Parkway, between San Pablo Avenue and Interstate 80, in Richmond, California.  

The Specific Plan will guide the development of the 143-acre site to support the City’s General Plan vision to promote the transformation of the plan area from a low-intensity auto-oriented retail center to a higher-intensity, mixed-use destination. The overarching goal of the Specific Plan is to develop a comprehensive plan to guide future development that will attract people, businesses, and investments. The intended result is to create a shovel-ready development framework to allow the revitalization of the plan area after the adoption of the Specific Plan and environmental document. The ultimate mix of uses and development program will be determined as part of the planning process that will involve and be informed by community and stakeholder engagement (activities to be scheduled).

Stay tuned for future updates. We look forward to your input on this process.
