Anchors / key tenants: neighborhood retail/services mix
Downtown-adjacent neighborhood center with direct I-5 visibility and proximity to Mission San Juan and the Amtrak/Metrolink station. Captures both resident and visitor traffic.

Anchors / key tenants: historic downtown dining and boutiques
The historic core. Restaurant patios next to Mission San Juan Capistrano and the train depot drive both resident and tourist traffic; entitlement and signage review tends to be more involved.

01
Existing beauty/med-spa exclusives at Sendero — confirm before LOI.
02
Downtown historic-district approvals can affect storefront signage and lighting; review before designing the buildout.
03
Plumbing and ventilation in older downtown buildings need engineering review.
04
Mission tourist parking versus appointment parking — downtown lots fill seasonally and on weekends; this can hurt repeat-customer service models.
