Dan Almquist's River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano, California, represents an ambitious $70 million project that seeks to innovate the retail landscape. With a focus on thematic storytelling and community, Almquist emphasizes creating spaces that resonate with history and local culture, as seen with its agrarian theme. Contrasting typical big box dominance in Orange County, this 60,000-square-foot retail center aspires to define a new niche in the market, complimenting the area's historic character while offering a modern shopping experience.
Gravel crunches beneath car tires from the first turn into River Street Marketplace's parking lot as the scent of barbecue wafts into the common areas of San Juan Capistrano's newest retail center.
I really want our projects to have a soul, Almquist said. Every good retail center needs a story.
