Experiential District in the Works for Retail Hub Rehab

Whole Foods is scheduled to break ground later this year and will open early 2019.

SUNNYVALE, CA—With the ever-present requirement of walkability checked off the list in a 36-acre mixed-use project, sights were set on landing a key player to tie the mix together. Enter the quintessential player: Whole Foods Market. The grocer has signed a lease for a new location, serving as a major anchor for the other residences, shopping, entertainment and offices that comprise what was formerly known as Sunnyvale Town Center project.

The street-level grocery store will consist of 52,000 square feet of retail including a café. The project is scheduled to break ground later this year and will open early 2019, according to STC Venture LLC, a joint venture of affiliates of Hunter Storm, Sares Regis Group of Northern California, and institutional investors advised by JP Morgan Asset Management.
