⚖️ Reimagining Suburban Retail Owner CenterCal Properties is moving away from traditional retail-only models to create a “destination” feel. The renovation includes three new buildings totaling over 8,000 square feet, which will house new contemporary tenants like Handel’s Ice Cream, Slice House, and a relocated Vine + Grain cocktail bar. Despite some construction delays pushing the full opening to Spring 2026, the project is already attracting high-end brands like Pandora and Lovesac.
