Community‑driven small businesses are the heartbeat of our retail centers, and Oishi at Village at Newtown is the perfect example. A second‑generation family restaurant serving the community since 1999, Oishi has grown from a beloved local eatery into a true cornerstone of the center. Their passion, consistency, and deep connection with customers have built loyalty, daily foot traffic, and long‑term value.

After the redevelopment of Village at Newtown, strategic merchandising and follow‑on leasing created an environment where community‑rooted operators like Oishi thrive. When strong local businesses choose our commercial retail space for lease, their success amplifies our center’s performance and enhances neighborhood identity.

Our approach delivers:

• Thoughtful redevelopment
• Smart tenant mix
• Leasing that boosts traffic and performance
• Community‑first operators who anchor long‑term value
