Lafayette Mercantile
Thanks to everyone who emailed that the seafood restaurant Yankee Pier will be closing today in the Lafayette Mercantile shopping center. Apparently high rent as well as lower revenue caused the same group that owned Lark Creek in downtown Walnut Creek to exit. However, their website does show they also own nearby Cooperage and Corners Tavern. I wonder if the addition of newer restaurants Batch & Brine and Barranco across the street impacted them negatively?

Danville Soup and Salad Shack closed only a couple of months after opening on E. Prospect Ave. in Danville. I was glad to have been able to try their clam chowder. Oh well.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
The fashion store Michael Kors, which opened a few years ago with the new Broadway Plaza redevelopment in Walnut Creek, has closed.
Years ago around town I noticed license plate holders with Future Hyundai of Concord and thought it was odd they would advertise a future dealership opening. I even drove by the future dealership wondering how long it would take for them to open. Eventually it dawned on me: the name of the dealership is Future Hyundai of Concord! I feel like such a dum dum! 😳
1800 Lacassie Ave, Walnut Creek
The Vaya apartment complex across from the Walnut Creek BART station is now leasing. In the photo above you can see the public art sculpture at right. Looks like giant red pickup sticks. Check out details and leasing options here. Get up to one month free… which will help pay for the $3000+ rent for ~600 sq ft apartment. 😨
2640 Shadelands Dr, Walnut Creek
In 2016 the basketball center Ultimate Fieldhouse opened in the Walnut Creek Shadelands area and the next phase, called Shadelands SportsMall, is progressing as you can see in these photos. This massive 215,000 sq sf training center will feature nine additional sports programs and a juicery.
From their website:
Phase II will be anchored by the 105,000 sq ft COPA Soccer Training Center, a high-tech facility featuring indoor turf and futsal fields and a 10,000 sq ft fitness and performance center home to Speed Lab and Copa Fit. Encore Gymnastics & Dance, American Swim Academy, Mike Murphy Baseball, Vibe Volleyball, Sparta Taekwondo, and Raga Yoga will round out Phase II, along with the inaugural location of Genius Juicery, a purveyor of delicious, performance-focused juices made in-house. Walnut Creek Soccer Club will also maintain an office in the complex.
