Retail Watchers

I'd estimate in NorCal for instance (in addition to the store they already have in Stockton) they could fit one store in a mature part of Sacramento, 3 in the bay area (one in Marin County/Santa Rosa, one around San Jose, and one near San Francisco), and that is probably about it for NorCal as I do...

As far as your comments on retailers- William Sonoma previously operated in Portland at 338 NW 23rd and closed that store in late 2021, about a mile from Brewery Block. So they are more returning to the area as opposed to expanding into the area. I also expect them to fail at Brewery Block but I gu...

The two downtown Portland locations are fairly new (probably 15-ish years???) and I'm sure Safeway went through a long permitting process to get these built (mixed use buildings). I assume that Safeway has a lot invested in them. There aren't a lot of other true grocery options in the part of downt...

The store quietly opened today, looks like a typical Lucky just very very small. It also is interesting it didn’t get the “Lucky California” logo, just the typical Lucky one. There are lots of long term residents in this neighborhood, perhaps they had some signs lying around and wanted to go for the...

The residential units look terrible. Many will have few windows/limited daylight. Looks like very long hallways and difficulty getting in and out of the units as well. Will be really bad for folks with dogs. The smaller lab buildings look nicer. Too bad they are too greedy to do similar small pod t...

Plans were revealed by Alexandria for this property. They are keeping the move theatre building and relocating the Target. There also will be a central shop area and some storefront retail. Alexandria is an extremely aggressive developer and with how hot life science is in the Bay Area right now (ba...

Ingka Centers announced another approximately 50,000 sq ft lease today to take up all the office space in the building. IKEA has already taken over 75,000 and an entertainment concept has taken 20,000 sq ft. In all, this puts over half of the 250,000 sq ft space as leased. Some construction at the s...
