The Veranda is a retail development project at 2001-2003 Diamond Blvd. in Concord with 375,000 square feet of open air multi-functional space where the local community can shop, dine, relax and play.

The development is located on a 13.78-acre site in Fontana with construction planned in April 2020.

The 96,000-square-foot building is mostly occupied by Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals Inc. (Jefferson Health) under a long-term lease.

TEXO selected winning projects for the awards based on difficulty in construction, original construction techniques involved, final appearance, quality of the finished product and the timeliness of project completion.

Longtime developers Juan Carlos Jurado and Juan Pablo Chirinos founded CDH due to the ongoing crisis surrounding the lack of affordable housing in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

The project is being developed by Seefried Industrial Properties, which has worked with Amazon on several fulfillment centers in recent years.

Walker & Dunlap identified MetLife Investment Management as the financing partner for the transaction.

Data has become more important than ever for retail investors trying to compete and remain relevant amid changing consumer demands for brick and mortar and e-commerce shopping platforms.
