This urban infill shopping center creates a hub for local businesses and residents, featuring a Whole Foods market, 23,000 sf of additional retail space, and a 17,000 sf public plaza. The entry wall – a careful composition of eco-friendly materials including reclaimed timber and composite wood plank – creates a marquee calling attention to the market. The site features native and drought-tolerant plantings including a grove of plum trees, and a landscaped area with vegetated bioswales to naturally filter impurities from the groundwater. The project serves as a model for the area’s planned redevelopment.
