Woodbury town center
Irvine, California
Serving the Irvine Ranch’s Woodbury residential community of 4,271 housing units, and the region at large, this hybrid lifestyle/power center consists of 450,000 square feet of lifestyle and big box retail on 50 acres, with tenants ranging from small food uses to a large grocery to a home improvement store.
The prominent corner of Sand Canyon Road and Irvine Boulevard is anchored by two restaurant buildings, with the 50,000 sf heart of the center hosting a cluster of lifestyle retailers with an outdoor plaza and fountain surrounded by a major bookstore, restaurants and food uses.
Larger retailers frame the south and west edges of the center, and include home improvement, sporting goods, grocery, specialty food, office supply, import store, home goods and drug store tenants, as well as a myriad of other smaller shops. The perimeter of the site is generously landscaped to complement the adjacent residential neighborhoods. The center’s architecture is inspired by the Romanesque revival, a vocabulary suited to civic centers and characterized by towers, gabled roofs, dramatic semicircular arches and horizontal banding.
