PLC was engaged by the project lender following the bankruptcy of the original developer midway through project mass grading and after the sale of 70 percent of the lots to merchant builders. PLC was responsible for coordinating and securing all final plan approvals and permits for and overseeing the final grading, soil and methane remediation and environmental impact mitigation and construction of the community infrastructure, parks and landscaping improvements so that merchant builders could receive certificates of occupancy on schedule.

PLC Communities also constructed 75 award-winning new homes within the Olinda Ranch community.
