Santa Rosa, CA; November 6, 2024 –Woodmont Real Estate Services’ President, Commercial Services Scott Pritchett CPM,® RPA,® announced that the company has expanded its property management coverage by adding Rosewood Village Shopping Center in Northwest Santa Rosa to its portfolio of commercial assets under management.
Concurrently, Woodmont is repositioning the center by replacing roofs, upgrading maintenance on mechanical and other systems and general cosmetic improvements to enhance the center’s appeal to the community.
Rosewood Village is located at the southeast corner of Piner Road and Marlow Road and comprised of five buildings and 50,302 square feet of retail space. It was originally built in 1988-1989 to serve the substantial population growth and new housing in the Northwest portion of Santa Rosa.
The Army Corps of Engineers signed a multi-year lease to occupy approximately 5,000 square feet in the largest building at the shopping center, and is underway with tenant improvements (TIs). The Corps plans to open a recruiting center in the first quarter next year for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. The space had been vacant for many years and formerly occupied by a video rental store.
Improvement costs to the center, including TIs for the Army Corps, are expected to exceed $1 million.
Other tenants in the center include Mary’s Pizza Shack, Dollar Tree, Asian Food Market, a nail salon, The Bike Shop, and several dining options, including Royal China, Makizushi, Jack in the Box, and the recently added Clubhouse Bar & Grill.
Marshall Kelly with Keegan & Coppin Company Inc. is the leasing agent for Rosewood Village Shopping Center.
The shopping center was built in 1988-1989 as the City of Santa Rosa’s population grew substantially during a 20-year span and generated much higher demand for retail services, stores, shops, restaurants – and shopping centers. According to Bay Area Census data, in 1970 Santa Rosa had a population of 50,006; by 1980, it was 83,320 and by 1990 Santa Rosa had 113,313 residents. As of the 2020 Census, the largest city in Sonoma County – Santa Rosa, had 178,127 people.
In addition to Rosewood Village Shopping Center, in the North Bay counties of Sonoma, Marin and Napa, Woodmont Real Estate Services manages 13 commercial properties comprised of approximately 720,000 square feet. The firm also manages 12 apartment North Bay communities with about 1,250 apartment homes, including the 224-unit community adjacent to Rosewood, The Villages. Other Santa Rosa apartment communities Woodmont manages are The Overlook and The Boulders in Fountaingrove.
