Because of the tremendous housing growth over the past decade the demand for new retail opportunities is extremely high as young, well-educated families with high household incomes seek new amenities that complement their active lifestyles. Land prices remain competitive, and because our development process is truly streamlined, all businesses receive personalized and efficient attention.
