Retail, restaurants and more…

Circle K, a convenience store and gas station chain offering a wide variety of products, will be 3,700 square feet and also sit on a site. University Square has lined up some exciting tenants, with leases to be finalized in coming weeks.

“The City of Rocklin has been an amazing partner and we could not be more thrilled and honored to get the green light for this project,” says Akki Patel, CEO of LRE & Companies.

“University Square is another example of us following through with our approach of developing at dynamic intersections in growing markets we have identified over the years as a developer on the West Coast.”

Adjacent to townhome community

The project is adjacent to Estia at Rocklin, a build-to-rent townhome community with 181 units, and located across the street from William Jessup University, a private Christian university with more than 3,000 students. It is also just east of the 8,497-acre Sunset Area development, whose plan is centered around a new California State University, Sacramento and Sierra College campus.

Become a tenant

Currently, LRE & Companies is reviewing letters of intent from interested tenants to fill the remaining spaces. Interested parties can contact Ariel Fox [email protected]. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025 and will be a retail hub complemented with hospitality components.
