Retail Mixed Use Market Study Update 1 January 6, 2010 <br /> for price or product variety, and therefore would need to focus on offering a full service grocery <br /> experience, including a butcher, deli, fishmonger etc. Catering would also be an important <br /> component of the grocery anchor tenant. Similar markcts report that 40 percent of their sales are <br /> generated by catering services, primarily to local businesses. The Hacienda location, with nearly <br /> 7 million square of office space, would provide a strong competitive advantage to the catering <br /> side of the business. <br /> One example of this grocery type is the Skyhawk Market in Santa Rosa. In addition to a butcher, <br /> deli, bakery and produce department, the 10,000 square foot store includes a full - service kitchen <br /> with a wood -fired pizza oven. Seating for 70 is provided within the store, with seating for an <br /> additional 90 customers in the plaza outside. Skyhawk also has a liquor license, and offers beer <br /> and wine tastings at night and on the weekends. The market is part of a mixed -use development <br /> which includes additional retail, office space and residential units. It is also located next to <br /> Highway 12, which averages 35,000 vehicle trips per day. The owner of Skyhawk Market reports <br /> that visibility and access were among the most important factors when selecting the current <br /> location. <br /> High - end Specialty Pharmacy <br /> 3,500 —10,000 square feet <br /> A pharmacy also has the capacity to serve as a co- anchor at this location, in conjunction with the <br /> small grocer. A high -end pharmacy such as Phannaca or the Medicine Shoppe would be a good <br /> fit for the income and education levels in the surrounding trade area. These businesses, however, <br /> have been hit hard by the economic downturn and are not currently expanding. It is difficult to <br /> predict when and where expansion will continue in the future. Locating a specialty pharmacy in <br /> Hacienda, therefore, would require an extremely proactive tenanting strategy and is better suited <br /> for a later phase of the project. Most major pharmacies, such as CVS or Walgreens require a <br /> larger retail space and potentially a drive- through window, which would not be a good fit for the <br /> transit - oriented nature of the site. <br /> Restaurants <br /> 10,000 square feet <br /> Small cafes or quick - service restaurants would also be successful tenants for mixed -use retail in <br /> Hacienda. A coffee shop or juice bar would have the potential to serve BART commuters, while <br /> lunch - oriented restaurants specializing in soups, sandwiches or ethnic cuisine could draw <br /> employees from the surrounding business park. Care should be taken, however, to ensure that <br /> restaurant offerings do not compete with prepared foods served at the grocery anchor tenant. <br /> Specialty Retail <br /> 5,000 —10,000 square feet <br /> Small, nontraditional specialty retailers, such as a bicycle store, walking shoe store, travel book <br /> store, or an optical store would be a good fit for Hacienda. These stores typically serve affluent <br /> and educated residential areas, and do not compete directly with larger, budget- oriented retailers <br /> that may not carry a full range of such specialized products. <br /> Services <br /> 5,000 —10,000 square feet <br /> Small service businesses such as hair or nail salons, day spas or a green dry cleaner would serve <br /> the daily needs of local residents and workers <br /> 62 <br />
