This retail development is fairly average. However, there are some decent facades (see the slab-stone facing on the Borders bookstore). Also, there is an attempt at interesting landscaping with the trellises laid out around the parking lot and repeated in a fashion projecting from certain storefronts (if they grow something like wisteria on them, that could be very attractive). There is one out-door cafe style corner in the complex (see photo). However, nothing that seriously encourages the shopper to wander around the entire complex (as opposed to a Del Monte style shopping center in Monterey). Average household income in a 3 mile radius is 63k. In a 5 mile radius is 52k. There are a lot of open fields near this development, as it seems to be on the north edge of Sacramento. I was at the site at around 10 in the morning and the parking lot was empty. Perhaps this is a speculative site in terms of a future hope of more housing coming to the area? This site is much better than the Gilroy site and, in some ways, better than Slatten Crossing, though not as nice as Dublin.
