Bridgeport Village is a lifestyle center located in Tualatin and Tigard, Oregon, United States, operated by CenterCal Properties. The center opened on May 19, 2005 and is located in one of the Portland metropolitan area's most affluent areas. The center has a variety of services, including valet service, restaurant reservations, a courtesy shuttle to vehicles, and umbrellas available to borrow. The center features a water and fire fountain, and an Italian gazebo and kiosks by Neri. ==History== The site of the mall was originally a county-owned rock quarry. Washington County stopped removing gravel from the site in the 1980s and began filling the property in order to prepare the land for development.〔 Plans for shopping center in the Bridgeport area where Lake Oswego, Tualatin, Durham, and Tigard meet began in 1999.〔Culverwell, Wendy. (“Pricey deals underscore rebound in real estate”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', January 28, 2005.〕 In 2001, Washington County sold the former Durham gravel pit to Opus Northwest and Center Oak Properties for $18.75 million.〔Goldfield, Robert.

(“Despite slump, builders keep projects moving”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', October 26, 2001.〕 The site was just west of Interstate 5 in both Tualatin and Tigard, and adjacent to Durham.〔Goldfield, Robert. (“Developers eyeing Durham quarry site”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', June 8, 2001.〕 Original plans called for a USD 163 million mixed use development with approximately of retail space and of office space.〔 These plans also included residential space and a movie theater.〔Brenneman, Kristina. (“Back to Main Street”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', June 22, 2001.〕 Perkowitz + Ruth Architects helped design the village,〔Stout, Heidi J. ("Long Beach architecture firm opens in Portland", ) ''Portland Business Journal'', December 12, 2003.〕 which was designed without the traditional anchor department store.〔Goldfield, Robert. (“'Anchors away' at malls”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', June 25, 2004.〕 In 2003, Lake Oswego threatened to derail the project over concerns of congestion affecting the neighboring city. The city and Washington County settled the matter in August 2003, with Lake Oswego receiving USD 300,000 to use for traffic improvement projects. Before the center opened, the development was sold for around $170 million to BV CenterCal LLC.〔 Opus Northwest was the general contractor of the USD 80 million project. Overall costs for the entire development totaled USD 250 million. In November 2004, the first store at the open-air lifestyle center, Crate & Barrel, opened.〔Goldfield, Robert. (“Retail arrives in spades on Portland's west side”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', January 28, 2005.〕 On May 19, 2005, the rest of the mall opened,〔Culverwell, Wendy. (“Bridgeport Village transforms neighborhood”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', May 27, 2005.〕 with additional stores at the site opened in November 2005.〔(“More stores opening in Bridgeport Village”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', November 16, 2005.〕 Planned residential units were never built, nor was a planned underground parking structure. In 2006, the architect won an International Council of Shopping Centers Design and Development Award. By 2007, the center had revenue of more than $600 per square-foot, which placed Bridgeport Village in the top five-percent of malls in the United States.〔Culverwell, Wendy. (“Bridgeport spurs retailing revival”, ) ''Portland Business Journal'', July 20, 2007.〕 At that time it was also bringing in nearly 4 million shoppers each year, leading to discussions of whether to designate the area as a town center under the regional government's land use plan. In April 2008, the county settled legal claims against a contractor who filled the old rock quarry and prepared the site for the mall regarding methane gas leaking at the site for USD 1 million.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bridgeport Village (Oregon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
