Emblem Empire Ranch
Coming Soon
The City of Folsom has designated this site for residential development to help meet local housing needs. Located at the intersection of Empire Ranch and Iron Point Roads, the project will transform approximately 8-acres of a 19-acre vacant property into a new community with 180 rental homes.
Emblem Empire Ranch is designed to reflect the existing character of Folsom and adjacent neighborhoods through high-quality architectural materials, thoughtful site design, and generous setbacks and landscaping.
Close to transit, retail, schools, parks, and major employers, the site offers a highly connected location for new housing in the Empire Ranch area of Folsom.

Incorporates generous landscape buffers, setbacks, and stepped building heights to ensure compatibility with adjacent neighborhoods and to create a welcoming streetscape.
