Walnut Creek based Blake Hunt Ventures hopes to develop
the 10 acre Navlet’s site at 800 Camino Ramon, a
property the town considers significant because of its
size and location. Blake Hunt will ask the Town Council
to consider a general plan amendment, a first step to
developing the property, said Bradley Blake of Blake Hunt
Ventures.
Blake, who grew up in Danville, said his company has
worked closely with town planners on a workable plan for
the site, but hesitated to discuss specifics until the
Town Council approves the plan. Blake Hunt Ventures proposes
moving Navlet’s nursery to two acres at the southern
portion of the site. The company hopes to put specialty
retail and office use on about five other acres, and use
the remaining 2 1/2 acres for anchor retail, hotel, office
or residential use. The project would probably be built
in phases, Blake said.
Blake is interested in a mix of home design and home
furnishings, soft and hard goods, restaurants and services
that will complement the town’s mix of businesses.
