A mystery investor has recently purchased large parcels of land near Palo Alto and Travis Air Force Base, sparking speculation about potential development plans. In Palo Alto, a buyer operating through an affiliate called Fierce Sunrise LLC spent around $20 million on eight parcels of hilly land formerly owned by the late John Arrillaga, a prominent Silicon Valley real estate executive. The buyer, who remains anonymous, purchased the property in an all-cash deal. Meanwhile, a company called Flannery Associates has been buying up land in Solano County, including 52,000 acres around Travis Air Force Base. The company has spent over $800 million acquiring farmland in the area, leading to widespread speculation about its intentions. A survey circulating in Solano County suggests the possibility of a new megacity being built, complete with homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards, and thousands of acres of parks and open space. Despite the survey, lawmakers and officials remain skeptical and are calling for transparency from Flannery Associates. The identity and intentions of both the mystery investor near Palo Alto and Flannery Associates in Solano County remain unknown.
