Compared to the last time we took a look at the Broadway Plaza redevelopment in downtown Walnut Creek back last November, there has been amazing progress. You can see where the windows will be, one new parking garage has been completed, and Macy’s new window is up. Check out the latest progress here. I’m looking forward to the grand opening towards the end of the year!

Last week we learned that an organic fabric shop may be opening in Walnut Creek and this week a Coming Soon sign confirms that the organic fabric company Monaluna is coming to this location on Mt. Diablo Blvd. right near the entrance to Highway 24.
From their website:
All of the Monaluna collections are printed on premium organic cotton with a high thread-count, which gives them an exceptionally soft and high-quality hand.
Monaluna fabrics are characterized by a graphic and modern style, and are often whimsical and humorous. After years in the children’s product market, Jennifer creates designs that are very appropriate for kids, but which can cross over to adult projects as well.
In a February sign of the day post we saw that the letters were missing from the Anthropologie store in downtown Walnut Creek but it’s back now.

Last July we learned about updated plans for Walgreens and Whole Foods at the Encina Grand shopping center in Walnut Creek and construction has now begun on the new Walgreens and is expected to open by October, 2015 according to the owner Regency Centers. This is also when the old Walgreens will close. Note that although Walgreens and Safeway will occupy newly constructed buildings, the small buildings in-between will not be demolished. There will only be a new facade added to the front. Thanks to a reader for sending updated construction photos.
