Saranap Village
Thanks to a reader for sending word about a new development being proposed called Saranap Village to be located in Saranap between Lafayette and Walnut Creek. Check out the site plan here. Renderings can be found here. This mixed use development with apartments located above retail stores reminds me of what Broadway Plaza wanted to do with their redevelopment last year. What do you think of this new development? Will Saranap Village eventually become a destination location for shopping?
From their website:
Hall Equities Group is pleased to introduce an exciting mixed-use plan to create a branded area with the character and atmosphere of a vibrant neighborhood village.
Our proposed project design entails three distinct building components clustered around the intersection of Saranap Avenue and Boulevard Way. Buildings will consist of street-level retail shops with parking structures below and behind the retail stores. High quality housing will be constructed above the retail space in multiple levels. At present, we anticipate approximately 325 residences in three separate structures. Some of this housing would be for sale and some would be for rent.
