Stockton Development

[SLO]

This is probably a shaky time to post these developments for Stockton, considering as of now it is still one of the hotbeds of foreclosure nationwide. I didnt see the 60 minutes episode, but saw a clip on yahoo just yesterday, had some good aerial video of downtown. The foreclosure news is glum, but there was no way for Stockton to sustain the prices they were seeing, unfortunately they are in for a major correction.

These two developments are upcoming from the Grupe Company, Stocktons most admired and successful developer. I dont suspect the slowdown will de-rail these plans, they are a long term player.

The first is a huge master planned community called Sanctuary which is somewhat infill within the urban boundaries of the city and up to protected Delta lands to the west.

The second is just some cool downtown loft/condos....

The Sheraton is going to be a beautfiul addition to the Stockton Waterfront..


Stockton has pushed ahead with redevelopment, putting their money where their mouth is and have subsequently turned their ideas into reality..




Great job..:cheers:

UE - Sheraton is a beautiful addition to the Stockton Waterfront. It recently opened. Someday I will take a trip up from Tracy and check it out. I don't often get up there unless it is for Jury Duty. Which is probably coming up soon.

In other Stockton development news, Tesco's Fresh & Easy will be opening a warehouse in Stockton that will eventually serve up to 500 stores. In my web searches I couldn't find out exactly where it will be located, but most likely in the southern part of the city. Tesco recently announce the first Bay Area stores and will most likely soon announce stores in Sacramento and the Stockton/Modesto area.

^^thats great, Stockton has long been a distribution hub for Norther Cal

I havent lived in Stockton for years, but I do keep up somewhat on development. Growing up we used to shop at KMart regularly (pre WalMart days). That shopping center is demolished and this one is going up -
Stone Creek Village - its more of your upscale specialty retailers, and anchored by REI (outdoors & sporting goods). Looks pretty cool....

New San Joaquin County office building in downtown Stockton: under construction, see web cam.

It appears to be 6 or 7 floors with a sweet conference room on top of the atrium lobby.

Has anyone noticed the new Toyota Corolla commercial featuring the guy rescuing his girl on one gallon tank of gas from the water polo team is filmed in Stockton? You can see the waterfront and a few of the downtown buildings in some of the quick shots. Anyway, just found it interesting.
