Marina Village Shopping Center

What would you like to see in the vacant spaces at the Marina Village Shopping Center?

The Marina Village Shopping Center sits on the west end of Alameda and currently has five vacant retail/restaurant spaces.  We’d like to know what types of businesses you would like to see here.

The spaces range from 800 sq. ft. to 3400 sq. ft.  Current tenants in this shopping center include Lucky’s, CVS, Chase, Wells Fargo, Quiznos, of the national chains but is also home to several locally owned businesses and restaurants.

Some ideas the broker had were a coffee shop in one of the spaces and something like a martial arts or yoga studio in one of the other spaces.  But those were just a couple of her ideas.  They're open to local businesses, new businesses, as well as national chains.  The owner is flexible and is willing to work with new businesses to help them get off the ground.
