Bella Terra Mixed Use is a 7-story mixed-use infill project of 300 apartment units with 25,000 SF of retail and restaurant spaces located at the ground floor. It will replace the existing 149,000 SF retail building and 33,331 SF in-line retail. The new residential parking garage will have a direct ground floor connection to the existing retail parking structure, via an internal 3-lane street, for shared retail/restaurant and residential guest parking use. The ground floor incorporates a porte-cochere passenger pick-up and drop-off within the new residential parking garage footprint. Enhanced materials are used throughout the ground floor to highlight the key pedestrian pathways to activate the edges. The new community social space will become the extension of the mall’s renovated amphitheater and existing plaza at the mall.
