Sandia Ranch Master Plan
Date
2025
Client
Bernalillo County, NM
Bernalillo County hired SITES to prepare a Master Plan and schematic design for the 20-acre Sandia Ranch property in Albuquerque. This agriculturally focused project involved extensive public engagement and close coordination with the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District and the American Sign Language Academy. SITES led the site analysis, programming, master planning, and preparation of construction documents.
The program for Sandia Ranch reflects the site’s agricultural heritage and community-oriented mission. Planned features include zones for animal husbandry and farming with field seed plots, orchards, and vineyards. Trails follow the historic Camino Real and the acequia that runs through the property. Additional elements include 4H and County Extension Service offices and grounds, an arena with bleachers and pens, a small neighborhood park and playground, master gardening areas, a rodeo arena, and an interpretive kiosk for El Camino.
The resulting plan creates a multifunctional, educational, and agricultural landscape that serves both local residents and regional partners.
