FAQS:
Q: What is The Shops at Rossmoor? The Shops at Rossmoor will transform the Northern portion of the former Rossmoor Center from a 60’s style strip center to a modern lifestyle center, providing a cohesive design that will invigorate the entire site. The new center will provide a broad and exciting selection of retail and dining destinations, featuring a mix of local and national shops tailored to the needs of the community. Our vision is to recreate our shopping center as a vibrant, community-focused, retail destination. Located at the intersection of Seal Beach, Rossmoor and Los Alamitos, we are in the unique position to create a destination that will serve all three communities. Q: Who is Century National Properties (CNP)? Century National Properties is the owner of the Rossmoor Center and developer of The Shops at Rossmoor. Based in Santa Monica, CA, CNP is a family owned and operated business that has been a part of the community since 1983, when we first acquired the Rossmoor Center. Q: How many other retail centers has CNP previously developed? Rossmoor Center is CNP’s one and only shopping center. That is why we are heavily investing in the infrastructure, look and feel of our center. As long-term members of the community, we understand the value of addressing the community’s needs and concerns and we understand that community satisfaction is vital to the success of our project. Q: What will the new center look and feel like? Our aim is to make The Shops at Rossmoor a lifestyle destination. The Shops at Rossmoor will provide an active and vibrant shopping center with stores and restaurants for the whole family. We are using a color palette of soft blues, greens, beiges and creams, providing a welcoming outdoor atmosphere in harmony with the local seaside communities. The Shops at Rossmoor will have ample and colorful landscaping and comfortable seating areas. Q: How many acres is the project site? The project area is approximately 8 acres and is located in the northern portion of the full 39-acre center. The renovation will replace 118,500 square feet of commercial buildings with 125,000 square feet of new commercial retail and restaurant facilities. Q: What sort of retailers are you leasing to? We would like to make The Shops at Rossmoor a lifestyle center, so we are seeking out a varied mix of tenants, ideally the best in their category, such as coffee, spa, electronics, active wear, children’s goods, fashion and food. We will announce all new tenants as soon as it is possible. Q: What kind of restaurants are you planning to bring to the community? The Shops at Rossmoor’s dining destinations seek to enhance the experience of our shopping center, while creating a synergy with other local restaurants. We are in the process of bringing in restaurants that will provide a pleasant atmosphere and a variety of flavors and prices that everyone can enjoy. We can start by telling you about Mel’s Drive-in. Mel’s will be opening their first Orange County location in the shopping center’s iconic Parasol building. The family-friendly restaurant with a nostalgic 1950s retro-feel will open its doors to the community in late spring 2007, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and specializing in Sunday brunch. Q: What kind of entertainment options are planned for The Shops at Rossmoor? Many of today’s entertainment venues require a shopping center to accommodate a large physical structure, as well as enough parking installations for vehicles that will remain stationary for a prolonged period of time. With only 8 out of 39 acres being developed for this project, The Shops at Rossmoor is spatially limited in the type entertainment we can accommodate at our center. However, we are working diligently to provide our community with interesting and unique entertainment options. As a modern lifestyle center serving a sophisticated and diverse neighborhood, The Shops at Rossmoor is seeking tenants that will offer the community leisure activities, such as wine tasting and after-dinner suppers. Additionally, the center will present seasonal entertainment through concert series, community activities and holiday events. Q: What kind of signage will the new tenants be using? Our goal is to have low-profile signage that will compliment the atmosphere of our lifestyle center. All signage must comply with Seal Beach codes. Q: What is being done about dust and noise during the construction? We are continually working with our contractors to minimize dust and construction noise. There is a watering truck on site at all times for the purpose of dust abatement. We will continue to regulate our daily construction schedule, which begins at 7am and ends by 5pm, Monday through Saturday to minimize the noise during off hours. Q: Which route will delivery trucks use to deliver their goods? Will there be set schedule for delivery of goods? Although CNP cannot mandate that delivery trucks keep a certain route, we will encourage our tenants to have their goods delivered using the 405 Freeway/Seal Beach Exit, as opposed to using the 605 Freeway exit. Additionally, we will encourage delivery trucks to be routed through Rossmoor Center Way. This suggestion will diminish the possibility of congestion and avoid truck traffic in residential areas. Additionally, CNP will work with tenants to regulate the times when shops can receive deliveries. Q: When will The Shops at Rossmoor be complete? Site preparation for The Shops at Rossmoor began in October 2006 and building construction began in November 2006. The buildings will be turned over to tenants for indoor construction in the spring of 2007. With the exception of Mel’s, stores will begin to open between July and September 2007. Mel’s is slated to open in late spring 2007. Q: Where can I go to find out more information about The Shops at Rossmoor?
