Prior to being redeveloped as Bella Terra, the Huntington Shopping Center, an enclosed mall built in 1966, suffered from chronic vacancy and disrepair. Following acquisition, the shopping center was “de-malled” through extensive renovation, redesign, and re-branding. Redeveloping the enclosed mall into an open-air lifestyle center required extensive engineering and construction expertise to accommodate new buildings and mitigate soil foundation issues. Bella Terra’s Tuscan-inspired architecture and mix of destination retail and entertainment draws customers from throughout the region. Major tenants include The Cheesecake Factory, REI, and Whole Foods.
