Nestled among the rolling hills of the beautiful San Ramon Valley, Bishop Ranch was originally part of a 3000-acre parcel of land called Norris Ranch.

Upon the death of Mr. Bishop 60 years later, the land was sold for development, and Western Electric acquired Bishop Ranch to house a manufacturing plant.In the 1970s residential parcels of Bishop Ranch were sold, leaving dormant 585 acres zoned for controlled manufacturing.

Home to more than 300 companies and their 30,000 employees, Bishop Ranch's 9 million square feet of office space houses companies in the high-growth fields of financial services, healthcare, communications, transportation, and computer technology.
