Once a neglected urban lot, this vibrant development has transformed into a dynamic hub for the community. Designed to inspire, it offers a welcoming space where residents, artists, and entrepreneurs can shop for fresh food and locally made products, enjoy a meal, stay active, listen to live music, or simply connect with others.

The Retail Village at Sycamore & Oak is home to local businesses, diverse eateries, a fitness gym, and a performance space. Guided by extensive community input, the project team created a sustainable and adaptable gathering place that fosters health, wellness, and a strong sense of belonging.

This innovative project also highlights how wood can be a catalyst for inclusive development, creating a welcoming space that nurtures a true "community within a community."
