About Us

With the popularity of walkable urban environments on the rise, more developers are turning to mixed-use projects, usually bringing together some combination of office, housing, and shops, sometimes with a hotel or community-serving uses. The mixed-use projects help activate the public realm by weaving in open space, pedestrian and transit connections, or ground-floor retail and dining options. 

Chico Fountains is a commercial open-air retail, hotel, restaurant, and entertainment urban infill destination covering approximately 10 acres. Chico Fountains houses, a Grocery Store; a Hotel; Child Development Center; 6 to 8 Restaurants, casual foods, and Offices. A gathering place for families to feel safe and have fun. In order to provide more gathering place than parking, we have designed two City Lift that houses 504 parking.

While mixed use has become more popular, the term can be confusing. It is not just limited to a multi-story development that incorporates commercial use on the first floor with residential uses on upper floors. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) Mixed-Use Development Handbook characterizes mixed-use development as one that; 1) provides three or more significant revenue-producing uses (such as retail/entertainment, office, residential, hotel, and/or civic/cultural/ recreation), 2) fosters integration, density, and compatibility of land uses, and 3) creates a walkable community with uninterrupted pedestrian connections. Mixed use is also one of the ten principles of Smart Growth, a planning strategy that seeks to foster community design and development that serves the economy, community, public health, and the environment.
