About Us

Over the last 20 years, Western Pacific Land Group has established an impeccable reputation for building high-quality master-planned communities on the Central Coast of California. The Woodlands and Blacklake Golf Resort in Nipomo, Bradley Square in Santa Maria and Vista Del Mar in Arroyo Grande have all raised the bar for every aspect of home building. “We started Black Lake back in the early 1990s during a down-turned market and were successful because we don’t just build homes, we build environments,” stated WPLG’s master developer John Scardino. “I think we’ve remained successful because we buy the best land, build great quality homes and create special environments where people want to live. Based on our record of success we have achieved that goal.”

Western Pacific Land Group’s John Scardino, Haythem Dawlett and their affiliates have earned recognition from a number of highly-regarded local and national industry associations including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Urban Land Institute (ULI), and the National Association of Home Builders. Haythem Dawlett and John Scardino bring decades of planning, construction, sales and marketing experience to diverse recreational, master-planned residential and mixed use communities featuring resort and golf course amenities, as well as retail, office and multi-purpose commercial projects.

As the Central Coast’s largest developer, Western Pacific Land Group has built the area’s finest homes at Rice Ranch. With dozens of options and a variety of sizes, styles, floor plans and views to choose from, you can personalize your future dream home to reflect your individual style.
