Cities and counties thru out California are challenged to address obsolete downtown commercial corridors, tenant vacancy, and declining sales tax.

While these municipalities recognize the need to invigorate their communities they lack the retail expertise and design criteria needed which results in successful retail solutions.

A successful redesign of these declining city corridors into exciting multi- faceted retail and entertainment districts will create new tenant interest, establish a sense of place for the surrounding community and attract millennial workers and shoppers.
