We\u2019re all breathing a little easier this week at Ten Space.<\/p>\n

For the past several years, we\u2019ve been slowly acquiring the pieces to create a wholesale change in Downtown Stockton. And on Tuesday, February 23^{rd<\/sup>, 2016, the Stockton City Council recognized this work in the form of a unanimous vote to approve our ambitious, radical and even a little crazy plan to transform our downtown into the Central Valley\u2019s premier urban core.<\/p>\n}

Our plan\u2014known as the Open Window Project\u2014includes over 1,000 new homes in Downtown Stockton, ranging from flats in new midrise buildings, to lofts in historic structures, to modern townhomes. We\u2019ll also build up to 400,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, including new restaurants, shops, boutiques, art studios and markets. With the Open Window Project, we envision Downtown Stockton as the hub of the entire region, with walkable boulevards and enticing streetscapes complimenting the historic architecture of our city\u2019s rich past.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the vision the Stockton City Council approved last week.<\/p>\n

This project is bounded by the best urban planning principles\u2014mixed-use buildings, no surface parking lots, and structures that blend into the existing urban fabric.<\/p>\n

With approvals in hand, Ten Space is committed to moving as quickly as possible to bring the Open Window Project from concept to reality. Very soon, we\u2019ll begin site preparation, which entails the remediation of buildings and removal of blighted structures. And we\u2019ve already started planning the project\u2019s first phase with our design team.<\/p>\n

This change will not happen overnight and more work lies ahead, but we\u2019re determined to deliver on our vision of a vibrant, thriving downtown. In the meantime, we\u2019re also working hard to bring local retailers to our core today. We\u2019ve already seen a bold group of downtown pioneers lead the way, and we\u2019re excited to see what new creators come forward to be a part of this monumental shift for our city.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been overwhelmed and humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support from Stocktonians. Over 100 supporters packed the council chambers last week to witness our approvals and to demonstrate to everyone watching that what\u2019s happening in Downtown Stockton is a grassroots movement, fueled by the people of Stockton.<\/p>\n

Thank you for putting your trust in us. Let\u2019s build this downtown together.<\/p>\n
