History

Plans for a specialty retail center in the Tanasbourne area were originally announced in 1999. [2] [3] [4] The original plan had construction beginning in June 2001 on the project that would have two parking garages. [5] In all, these plans called for a $60 million project on 19 acres (77,000 m2) to open in the summer of 2002. [6] Hillsboro approved the project in 2000, but construction was delayed. [7]

Eventually developed by Continental Real Estate and designed by Field Paoli, The Streets of Tanasbourne cost $55 million to complete. [8] This shopping complex was the last development in a larger Hillsboro project titled Tanasbourne Town Center. [9] Originally The Streets of Tanasbourne were to be named the Shops of Tanasbourne. [2] [4] However, the project's name was changed when Continental Real Estate acquired the project from Federal Realty Investment Trust. [8] Macy's (formerly Meier & Frank and one of the center's anchor stores) signed up as planned, however very little had been done to attract other tenants by 2002. [8]

Construction on the project began in 2003. [10] The Meier & Frank opened in early October 2004, [11] while other stores finished construction later that month. [7] [12] The grand opening for the 386,000 square feet (35,900 m2) shopping complex was November 6, 2004. [13] The 55-store complex is designed to resemble a standard Main Street style shopping district with open air, free-standing stores complete with parallel parking on the streets within the complex. [7] [14] When it opened it was the first of the lifestyle centers to open in the Portland metropolitan area. [15]

[7] Retailers include anchors Macy's (formerly Meier & Frank) and REI, while restaurants include Buffalo Wild Wings, Macaroni Grill and P. F. Chang's, among others. While not situated along a highway or MAX Light Rail, the center was estimated to have approximately 225,000 people within five miles in 2005.
