Lila Gemellos’ Murals Add a Splash of Color and History at Market Park San Jose
October, 2021
Even the most attractive, modern shopping centers often have many large empty surfaces —building and boundary walls that safely direct traffic in and out of the center. These contribute to a degree of coldness associated with most retail complexes.
Not at Market Park. San Jose’s newest retail center — located in the Berryessa Road neighborhood in North San Jose — is painting a picture of what retail centers can aspire to…with a little extra creativity and imagination.
Variety of Categories Available, but Remaining Space Is Going Fast at Market Park San Jose
September, 2021
As more and more retailers jump at the chance to locate in the Market Park retail center on Berryessa Road in North San Jose, space is filling up quickly.

But while there are plenty of categories available for interested tenants, only about 9% — approximately 9,200 sq. ft. of the total of 101,000 sq. ft. — remain. And negotiations are underway on 3 of the 7 available units. So retailers and their representatives would be advised to move fast!

Market Park San Jose Capitalizes on Clear Trend Away from the Automobile
February, 2019
Wall Street Journal Article Sees America Putting the Brakes on its Driving Love Affair
