Livermore, California

The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.

At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.

By area Livermore's land is overwhelmingly public or ranch land. The County layer (s2) holds 33,177 parcels with a LIVERMORE situs over about 247,000 acres, far beyond the city limits, because that situs also covers the unincorporated hills south and east. Parcels at $0 assessed value (exempt public and institutional land), 2,496 of them, cover about 47,700 acres; 579 parcels valued under the Williamson Act (farm and grazing contracts) cover about 129,900 acres. The holders below are those an opened source names. The layer carries no owner names, so private ranch holdings cannot be named or ranked.

New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.

Livermore permits very few new homes. The Census Building Permits Survey (s11) counts units authorised in the city of 36 (2021), 38 (2022), 41 (2023), 74 (2024) and 265 (2025), the last split into 85 single-family homes and 180 units in 15 buildings of five or more units. New-home supply comes from a handful of private California builders on infill and annexed sites; no national public builder states a Livermore community in a source opened. Figures below are the builders' own statements.

The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.

Livermore's commercial estate is industrial and research space along I-580 and the airport, plus one large outlet centre. No apartment or office REIT's FY2025 10-K opened (Essex, AvalonBay, Equity Residential, UDR, Terreno, Welltower, Healthpeak, Equity LifeStyle, Sun Communities) lists a Livermore property. Public owner-occupiers are the semiconductor-equipment makers. The largest industrial trade on record, a reported 2023 portfolio sale on Discovery Dr, Atlantis St and Challenger St, could not be opened at any source and is listed as unverified; the County layer (s2) does show those three parcels with a latest recorded document dated 29 Aug 2023 and a combined value of $340.2M.
