Santana Row in San Jose is one of two lifestyle shopping centers in the Bay Area. When first conceived, lifestyle centers were billed as the "new" mall. Open air and with a street open to vehicular traffic. Since they were mixed-use, apartments and hotels could be build in the property, creating an instant urban village.
While lifestyle centers across the U.S. have been faring poorly, Santana Row in San Jose is an exception. Successful, popular, and nary a hint of the economic conditions that have affected so many families. Santana Row, in many ways, is reminiscent of a Main Street in Disneyland. Everything perfected down to the last detail. The shopping center is private, so photography is forbidden, among other things (loitering, panhandling, etc.). It's like going to the city without being reminded of the decay of urban society. Escapism. Yeah, it works. |

I have gone through your site information and it is the same opportunity that I was looking for. The facilities, the process that what you are offering are perfectly matched to my Expectation & very soon you will get Response from my side.
The South Bay, and perhaps the entire Bay Area could hopefully support another Saks Fifth Avenue since the closings of the Stanford and Blackhawk stores, and Santana Row would make a perfect fit for Saks.
What an awesome place to be with:-) Thanks for the tip!
I like Santana Row, although I'm not sure the fat, shirtless guy I was BBQ-ing on his apartment deck last time I was there is exactly the look Tiffany & Co is looking for right above their store!
The BIGMallrat's Blog is giving us information and current happenings on shopping mall in Northern California and Reno. One of the most hobbies of people now is going to shopping mall. That place was very impressive and attractive.
