Travel Info Where can i get good information about Santana Row? (not just santanarow.com)? Travel Tips What is it you want to know that you cannot find on their website? There are lots of shops and restaurants. They have a nice hotel and residential housing. Parking sucks more than words can describe. It is a rather new shopping center when compared with others in the area. ------------------------------... Federal Realty, Rockville, Md., is the developer. It was their largest strip shopping center at 40 acres. It was a $600 million dollar privately funded project. Santana Row was designed by Architects Sandy & Babcock. The Concrete Contractor was RJS & Associates, and the General Contractor was Bovis Lend Lease. Why they built it: "Our job is to spot retail trends and then help provide the kind of place that customers want to shop in, in a location where customers want to shop," said Steven Guttman, president and CEO of Federal Realty. "We're in a return to a Main Street shopping kind of spirit, a return to what we had before." With many U.S. retailers turning to the country's downtowns for expansion, Federal Realty Investment Trust has focused for much of the '90s on the revitalization of Main Street shopping districts. "There's still a place for shopping malls, but I think shoppers today would very much prefer the experience of a great shopping street," Guttman said. "That said, I really don't think there are many to be found." Hope that helps you out. Why do you need all this info? |
