A new neighborhood staple is taking shape at Ellis, a thriving master-planned community by The Surland Companies in Tracy, California. Ellis Village Center is underway, bringing dining, shopping and everyday essentials together in one convenient, walkable destination.

Thoughtfully planned to support connection and ease, the Ellis Village Center will offer a welcoming mix of places to gather, enjoy daily routines and run errands close to home. From fresh groceries and artisan pastries to quick bites, beauty and wellness services, it’s a setting that adds comfort and flexibility to everyday life at Ellis.

As the first major tenant, Sprouts Farmers Market is set to open in fall 2026, with additional businesses including Paris Baguette, Wingstop, Great Clips and other great services, opening afterward. Catering to both Ellis residents and the greater Tracy community, it is designed to bring new energy to the area while serving as a true neighborhood hub.

This new shopping and dining destination arrives as Ellis continues to expand. With three new neighborhoods by Woodside Homes now selling and SHAWOOD at Ellis expected to join in summer 2026, new homes and thoughtfully planned amenities are shaping the community for modern, convenient living.

Ellis’ convenient location between I-580 and I-205 offers easy connections throughout San Joaquin County and beyond, making it simple to balance work, home and everyday living. The Village Center will be at the heart of it all, bringing community and convenience to daily life at Ellis.
