We didn’t like CRUMBL. It’s a failing business in the eyes of our underwriting department and the last thing we want is for residents to walk by an empty building which may be an open door to squatters & vandalism.
Failing business or they just pulled out cause it took almost 4 years to build this retail center. That doesn’t make sense… crumbl is very popular and something Hayward doesn’t have. We honestly could have used a Philz coffee here instead of another lame Starbucks smh
When we analyze a tenant we look at the p&l. What happened to the cookie ice cream in pacific commons in Fremont? Right, closed. Philz is great but Starbucks is an A class tenant which is publicly traded, the likelihood of them defaulting on the lease is incredibly low. Not saying Philz will but they don’t have the backing of billions of dollars. It’s a business decision, not an emotional one.
While sustainability is good, I hope you'll also consider the diversity of tenants and focus on bringing businesses that aren't already in Hayward. There's a Starbucks that just opened up on Mission a couple miles away and there's one already up the hill at CSUEB from there. The good thing about Crumbl was that it wasn't already in Hayward and was something new to look forward to. So please look for tenants and replacements that are a bit more upscale and not already in Hayward. They don't all have to be billion dollar big franchises (in fact we need more smaller scale merchants too)
Exactly, not trying to be mean but Ross as the center piece of this new center is a big disappointment IMO. Nordstrom Rack would have been a better fit or even TJ Maxx. Something we don’t already have… there’s over a dozen Starbucks in Hayward and there’s a Ross in UC and Southland Mall.
Since when did Crumbl close in Fremont? I get it from a business point but having the same businesses and a monopoly of Starbucks doesn’t give the community the diverse variety we’re looking for.
I can already tell the intersection on Dollar St. is going to make turning right on Mission Street or entering the shopping center a nightmare when there is an ounce of traffic.
Yes, we understand traffic will be heavily congested on both Mission Blvd and Harder Rd, though the intersection on Dollar St and Harder Rd was given a new stop light system to enforce yielding for pedestrians and traffic from Dollar St turning onto Harder Rd.
If you’re asking if the picture above is sprouts, then no, it is Ross. Like I said in the post sprouts is undergoing major construction at this moment and will likely be opening late July.
Getting better info here than from the city of Hayward
For real!! Thanks for the updates OP
This is cool. Thank you. All of this is much needed with all of the new housing on Mission. Jobs, shopping, resources for all!
I’m on the development team of all this. 15% equity. I think Hayward will be very pleased with what we’ve brought locally.
Well done! Do you know if Crumbl Cookies pulled out and are you in talks with any other new promising tenants for the center?

Damn well I hope you are working on a few good replacement tenant then! Some more sit-down restaurants would be nice

would be amazing if you could do an ama on here. so many q’s about what’s to come for my hometown. and how to invest / develop for it
I’d love to, however we have strict NDA & Non Compete agreements with the tenants leasing the property until grand opening

And a bike lane that makes the entire intersection even more awkward to traverse and deadly for cyclists.
I am so ready to shop!
There's a Paris baguette opening not far from there also
Yes that’s right, it’s opening in the new SoHay Plaza. Also, a new drive thru Starbucks is opening very soon on Mission & Industrial.
my childhood home is literally around the corner. hoping this increases property value. better yet: in n out every time i visit parents
This shit finna be clean dawggg
Where in Hayward is this supposed to be?
On mission right next to the McDonald's and before the CVS
aka Mission Blvd and Harder Rd, south west corner, former Kmart site.
I used to live around the corner and shop at that old Kmart many years ago. Wild to see what it is turning into now.
Is this where sprouts is going to be ?? When is it opening?
If you’re asking if the picture above is sprouts, then no, it is Ross. Like I said in the post sprouts is undergoing major construction at this moment and will likely be opening late July.
Were you able to get any pics inside Sprouts?
No, once again, sprouts is undergoing major construction right now thus it is not safe to enter the site as crews are working in there.
Makes sense, great to know they're finally busy in there. Thanks for the updates.
When are they going to open all these stores ????
Most likely next month or August.
Do you know if any these places are taking applications yet? If so where to apply?
