KTGY’s design transforms an underutilised site into a neighbourhood anchor and showcases Regency Centers’ commitment to the growing residential community.
KTGY, an award-winning design firm focused on architecture, interior design, branded environments and urban design, announces that The Marketplace, a Whole Foods-anchored retail development designed for Regency Centers, received unanimous approval from the Redlands City Council on 17 February 2026, clearing the way for the development to move forward to building permits and construction. Planned on an 8.18 acre vacant site at the northeast corner of Lugonia Avenue and Tennessee Street, the centre sits in the heart of one of North Redlands’ fastest-growing residential areas.
The Marketplace is planned as a 71,400sq ft neighbourhood retail centre anchored by Whole Foods and supported by four shop buildings and a dedicated drive-through pad. Designed to LEED Silver standards, the development reflects Regency Centers’ approach to placemaking, emphasising retail environments that are authentic to their neighbourhoods and foster long-term community connection. KTGY’s design reinforces and complements this vision through context-responsive architecture and a site plan shaped around community needs. The development transforms a long-underutilised site into a neighbourhood anchor positioned to serve existing residents and new housing planned to the north and east.
“Working with KTGY and Whole Foods Market on The Marketplace has been a genuinely rewarding process,” said Ray Kayacan, Vice President of Investments at Regency Centers. “Redlands is a community that’s growing fast and we’ve been intentional about making sure this development grows with it. Getting unanimous approval from the City Council speaks to the alignment we built with the city early on, and I think it reflects how well the full team executed against a shared vision.”
