THE DISTRICTS

Where Culture Meets Commerce

Within Meriam Park are 3 diverse districts that are designed to support each other in a unique and strategic way. For example, a baker or coffee roaster would be placed next to a grocer and restaurants whom they could supply, which would be next to a courier service that delivers meals to area residents and senior housing areas, and so on. The end goal is to create a thriving, sustainable community which appeals to the growing Millennial workforce.  Maker spaces, kitchen incubators, live-work lofts, urban-styled multifamily housing and modern “agritectural” architecture will be featured —all just an easy walk or bike ride away.


TANK

This destination is envisioned as our “Third Place,” the social center for residents, visitors and nearby businesses after home and work. The Tank district focuses on food innovation and is growing a balanced mix of retail, food & beverage, health & wellness, maker spaces and mixed-use while offering beautiful streetscapes, loft-style buildings, captivating outdoor spaces, and one-of-a-kind retail amenities. The look will feature industrial elements juxtaposed with buildings inspired by the surrounding agricultural heritage (agritecture) of the local landscape to create a familiar yet striking architectural statement that integrates diverse uses into a cohesive, visually-rich experience.

 
 
 
 

THRIVE

As its name implies, the Thrive district focuses on job creation and the progression of work environments that meet the demands of the modern workforce. It bolsters productivity, infuses economic stability, accommodates the entrepreneurial seedling companies of Chico and the region, and attracts company relocation and expansion to Chico. With over 444,000 square feet of space for professional and medical offices, commercial and mixed-use, the Thrive is already buzzing with productivity, collaboration and creativity. The architecture of the Thrive features a stylized tech aesthetic integrated with modern accents, natural finishes accented with pops of color.
