HISTORY:

Prior to its annexation to the City of Sacramento in 1965, the 680± acre Campus Commons property was locally known as the Horst Hop Ranch. The Campus Commons community plan was developed by a local Sacramento partnership including Bob Hurst, R.J. McClatchy, J.J. McClatchy, Gordon Jack, Jack Matranga, and Henry Moss. Robert C. Powell & Teichert Land Co. became involved in the early 1970's, completing construction in 1979. Robert C. Powell built Villages 3 & 10, the Garden Homes in Village 4, and all the homes in the Nepenthe Association. Kimmel Construction built the homes in Village 5 (St. Charles Place).

Robert C. Powell: Mr. Powell was recognized in Sacramento Magazine's Silver Anniversary Issue as one of Sacramento's 25 Most Influential People. Powell projects in Sacramento include Campus Commons, East Ranch, Selby Ranch, Wyndgate, Gold River, Governor's Square, and the Pavilions Shopping Center. Mr. Powell was widely known as a community leader, visionary, and one of Sacramento's most generous philanthropists.
