Danville Remain Unscathed Through 2010 Vacancy Rate by Product Type
Positive absorption was the trend in 2010. Downtown remained stable with a few
businesses closing their doors and new shops quickly scooping up on empty space.
Grocery anchored shopping centers remain virtually fully occupied. The big story
of the year is the success at Blackhawk Plaza, Rose Garden, and The Livery. Overall,
Danville retail vacancy rate is dramatically lower than San Ramon, Pleasanton,
Livermore, and Dublin (see graph on reverse).
Activity along Hartz Avenue brought a couple welcomed additions. That Bar opened
in November, filling the vacancy left behind by Vinoteca. Sweet Street took over
the former candy store at 301 Hartz in December. La Boulange Bakery opened on
Railroad Avenue next to Lunardi’s back in August. Other new businesses in 2010
include Dandelions, The Savvy Shopaholic, Akira Bistro, Los Ponchos, Miglet’s, and
Koko Fit club. Despite strong lease activity we did not see a substantial amount of
sales through 2010.
The Livery was able to find a flock of new tenants. The year was kicked-off by
just about every residential real estate company in town moving to the Livery. In Key Terms & Definitions
