Lately I have been receiving quite a few inquiries regarding the status of the Village Center. Specifically, “What types of shops will be going in the Piazza (Plaza)?”, “When will the shops be opening?”, “Is there going to be a farmers market in Villebois this year?’

I wish that I had a good answer to all three of these questions. I will give you an honest assessment as to where we are at today and the direction that we are heading in. Let’s begin by answering the three questions.

1) What types of shops will be going in the Piazza (Plaza)?

? Costa Pacific Communities is currently in discussion with several possible tenants and/or owners for sites both in and around the central piazza in the village center. Both Costa Pacific Communities and the potential tenants are very excited about the possibility of being a part of a community like Villebois. We feel that they would add a tremendous value to the community and its residents

Unfortunately I am not able to name names but stay posted. As soon as I am able to make the announcement I will.

2) When will the shops be opening?

? If discussions progress with these candidates we should begin drawing the exterior designs and floor plans for these buildings in the next 30-60 days. If this is the case and we progress on this schedule we could potentially have the designs drawn in the next 120 or so days. From here it would take roughly 9 months to work through The City of Wilsonville to secure the entitlements needed to move forward. Once the necessary entitlements are in place it will take approximately 12 months to construct a building of this size.

Add it all up and we are looking at having finished buildings in approximately 2 years.

3) Is there going to be a farmers market in Villebois this year?

? Costa Pacific and the other builders in Villebois have commissioned a feasibility study for a late season farmers market in Villebois just off of Barber and SW. Villebois Dr.. The results came back very favorable and we will be meeting in the next week or so to determine if we feel that it is too late to coordinate a large project like this in such a short time frame.

If anyone is interested in volunteering for the farmers market we would definitely be able to use the help. To make this a successful venture it will take a great deal of community support.

I hope that you have found this to be useful information and don’t hesitate to contact me at Blog@CostaPacific.com if you have any additional questions.
