Harbor Properties Wants Your Input

As we move forward with the project on the Saint Gobain site (S. Hudson and 27th Ave. S) we are exploring retail options for approximately 20,000 square feet of space. What businesses are missing in the neighborhood that you’d like to see here?

Potential businesses should complement the existing ones, be financially viable, and have a proven track record. Our desire is to support and promote the existing diversity and small-town feel of the neighborhood. Feel free to comment below on those thoughts and ideas. If you have contact information for those businesses that we should follow up on, please e-mail Kira Shively at:

Many people have expressed a desire for Trader Joes and several smaller, local hardware/garden stores like City Peoples, but so far we have not had luck in enticing them here.

Construction ground breaking is scheduled for early fall of 2009, and occupancy would begin in the summer of 2011.

We value your feedback and look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.
