Today was the big day for the Shops at White Oak Village! The eagerly anticipated shopping center was formally introduced to the community this morning, and while the line of speakers patting each other on the back for a job well done was the agenda for the event (and well deserved!), the important news is that this is not your typical shopping center.
Every developer says that their shopping center is unique, but this time it was proven. Not only was the environment taken highly into consideration in the construction and build-out, but the way the traffic is controlled and the landscaping is done lends to a very pedestrian-friendly environment.
Then again, this is the same developer that did Short Pump Town Center and that was a new style for the area, too. I have to say that it is refreshing to see that there are developers doing such high quality work and not just churning out the same strip mall over and over again.
