The SETTING A S E N S E O F P L AC E Chico offers the quality of life and a tangible “balance” that so many seek for themselves and their families. Chico State, Enloe Hospital, and Bidwell Park are a direct result of founders John and Annie Bidwell’s commitment to establish a place of higher learning, economic sustainability and environmental stewardship. Ask any local and they will say It is this sense of place that makes Chico so special.

With easy access to hiking, biking, fishing, skiing and more, Chico’s connection to recreation and the natural environment is woven into its DNA. In addition art, culture and creativity contribute to Chico’s diverse character through numerous public art, entertainment and community events.

The DESIGN FORM IS FUNCTION

Featuring corrugated metal walls, standing seam metal roofs and vivid color accents, Meriam Park’s architecture draws inspiration from the local agricultural heritage and adds an urban startup flair. Varied roof lines, wood and concrete elements, and large glass openings blend to form a diverse aesthetic that’s unified across the entire community. All spaces are designed for maximum functionality with the flexibility to adapt to the future needs of each resident.

Meriam Park incorporates traditional neighborhood design principles to create a framework that promotes higher density, walkable and bikeable connections, and the mix of land uses.

A variety of building types will create resource-efficient development, optimize project costs and conserve energy. This approach also supports demand for other infrastructure needs such as public transportation, and the Marketplace retail and social district.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS Dan Gonzales

is the founder and owner of Fifth Sun, an apparel design and manufacturing company based in Chico, California. In 1986, Dan earned his Civil Engineering degree from Chico State and pursued a career as a licensed professional engineer.

After holding positions at Caltrans and North Star Engineering, Dan decided to follow his creative and entrepreneurial passions by starting Fifth Sun. He credits his success to persistence and an analytical, yet creative approach to problem solving. This powerful combination propelled Fifth Sun from a humble garage-based outfit into a 22-year-old manufacturing and design powerhouse, employing more than 200 people, and producing and selling over 2 million garments per month to nearly every national chain in the United States.

Ken Grossman

is the founder of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. He learned to homebrew from the father of a close friend and from an early age, Ken was enamored by the sights and smells of the fermenting jugs of bubbling beer, wine, and sake. His first attempts at making beer were rudimentary at best, but this began a lifelong passion for the art of fermentation.

Originally from Southern California, Ken discovered Chico when he joined friends on a cycling trip along the Northern Coast of California. He immediately fell in love with the town and local culture, and it’s been his home ever since.

In 1976, Ken opened The Home Brew Shop and started building a small brewery. An avid backpacker, Ken named the new company after his favorite hiking grounds—the Sierra Nevada Mountains. On November 15, 1980, he brewed the first batch of Pale Ale, the beer that helped launch the American craft beer movement and changed the tastes of millions.

Dan’s experience designing and marketing apparel to a variety of demographics, and managing his creative and technical divisions, has given him valuable insight into the working habits, lifestyles, and trends of the complex millennial generation.

Dan understands and shares a passion for building environments that take a holistic approach to creating a sense of place and connection.

Always intrigued by the challenge and opportunities of land development, Dan seeks to create a thriving, vibrant community within Meriam Park that provides economic and environmental sustainability, social connection, and healthy living for current and future generations of Chico.

The brewery moved into a 100-barrel brewhouse in 1988 to meet its rapidly expanding production and distribution needs. Today, the facility is a popular must-stop destination for tourists and self-described beer-geeks, and features a taproom and restaurant, gift shop, guided tours, Beer Camp, and on-site live music venue. A second brewery was completed in Mills River, North Carolina, in 2014. Under Ken's visionary stewardship, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company has become one of the premier craft breweries in the United States, earning a myriad of accolades, awards and fans for its beer and advanced environmental sustainability practices.
