When do the shops and other businesses come to Villebois?
A Note from Costa Pacific Communities CEO Rudy Kadlub
Rudy Kadlub
At Costa Pacific Communities, we have received many questions regarding when the stores, restaurants and other businesses will be coming to the Villebois community.
The reality is: Rome was not built in a day and neither will Villebois.
While retail is a major component when it comes to mixed-use developments like Villebois, the community cannot attract retailers when there are not enough rooftops to support their sales. Even if each of the community’s businesses was given free rent, without enough sales, they could not cover their other overhead, which includes employees, cost of goods, utilities, etc. We have seen this mistake made in the past in other local communities and developments. The results are typically slow lease-up, mostly empty town centers and ultimately, failure for tenants.
At Costa Pacific Communities, our efforts are extensive and sincere when it comes to planning and developing the Villebois community. We will make any reasonable deal that a quality retailer requests. Until the economy responds to the new stimulus package recently introduced by President Obama, and we sell enough homes, the supply of retailers will be slim.
In the meantime, our efforts at Costa Pacific to build community within Villebois remain undaunted. Through the monthly neighborhood newsletter and this blog you are reading today, we continually strive to keep Villebois homeowners and the public alike apprised of the latest community news and events, including the upcoming Villebois Sunday Market opening May 3, 2009, and the homeowner consortium considering opening a coffee shop in the Villebois Village Center.
Call 866-580-2836 or email Blog@CostaPacific.com if you would like speak more in depth about the future retail opportunities and other plans for the Villebois Village Center.
